Windows XP Networking Guide : Network Setup Wizard
Figure: Network Setup Wizard.
After you physically connect all computers in your network
with all necessary hardware, you can use the Network Setup
Wizard to:
-
configure all computers in your network to share one Internet
connection either through an Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
computer, a residential gateway, or a hub.
-
set up Windows Firewall to protect your computer or network when it is
connected to the Internet so only certain applications and
services - that you trust - can access your computer or network.
-
enable file and printer sharing so that certain files,
folders, or printers can be accessed by all computers in your
network.
