Here is how to share your Internet connection in a way that other computers to be able to use it. The popular way of doing this is by using a hardware router or a combination of a proxy server and a hub. In the article I'll show how to easily share your connection with the Windows XP integrated Internet Connection Sharing.

The alternatives:
Hardware router
Pros: - once turned on the device provides Internet connection.
Cons: - set up, price.

Hub
Pros: - price, allows proper connectivity and data transfer between several computers.
Cons: - doesn't support network address translation(NAT).
+
Proxy server
Pros: - emulates hardware router functionality and gives IP address and port to the clients to provide Internet connectivity.
Cons:
- every client needs to use the Proxy server address
- network connection protocols are not being fully supported

What you'll need:
- one additional network(LAN) card, which will act as an outgoing Internet device
- (optionally) hub, if you are willing to share you Internet with more than one computer

Let's begin
Server setup
First off you'll have to know whether you've been using:
Dial up type of connection (PPPoE) providing a username and password or you are directly connected to your provider(ADSL...) without having to enter username and password every time prior using the Internet.

Open up Start->Settings->Network Connections to see your network cards(LAN).

Important!
If you are using ADSL find the incoming Internet connection card(i.e through which the Internet comes in) and right click -> Properties(fig. 1)
If you are using LAN + Dial up find your Dial up connection(and not the LAN card) and right click -> Properties(fig. 2)


Fig.1 ADSL


Fig 2. LAN + Dial up

On the next screen check the Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection.


Then you'll be prompted to allow the ICS to change your second(inner) LAN card settings.
From now on it'll have IP 192.168.0.1 and will serve dynamic IP addresses via DCHP to the connected computers(clients).

Other computers setup(clients)
The only thing left to do is to go to Start->Settings->Network Connections, right click on the network card Properties -> Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) - then again on Properties.


...and check both as shown automatically


Don't forget!
Protect the shared connection
When all of your computers already have Internet it is important to turn on the integrated Windows firewall:
from Start->Run->Firewall.cpl
and then check both: On(recommended) and Don't allow exceptions

Now you are ready. Happy surfing!!!

I learn an old technique to how to recover damaged or scratched disks
with some lost of data. In this case i have one borrowed game - MAX PAYNE 2
with a chunk of 4 MB lost with a scratch in CD1 Install. Here we cover some
special techniques of how to create a full working CD from the scratched one.

First some tools will be needed:

1. Alcohol 120%
2. Ultra ISO
3. Windows XP/2000 (not tested on 95/98/me)
3. Small piece of cotton
4. Dry cleaner paper
5. Finally, oil for cooking.

First step - preparing the CD

Get the cotton and drop some water, start cleaning vertically the surface of CD.
Do it 3 times and dry the water with a piece of dry cleaner paper. With a new piece
of cotton, drop some oil for cooking and start to wet the surface like you are
washing the CD with the oil. Dry carefully now. Some particles of oil will stay on the
micro surface of the scratch. It's okay. Seems the oil helps the laser of the CD/DVD driver
to read the surface again. Sure this will work with small unreadable scratchs - some hard
scratch's loose parts of the surface of the CD where we have data and it's lost forever.
But if it is loosed try anyway. With this tip 80% of the small scratched CD's could be
recovered.

Second Step - testing the CD

With Alcohol 120% make an ISO - image making wizard - and lets see if the app can
read the loosed surface. In my case Alcohol 120% had recovered 60% of the data.
This is not enough. Have tried other appz, they do not recover all the data. But the
CD/DVD driver laser CAN recover all data in this case. the data is still there, what we do?

Third step - making the new CD

With the main copy system of windows explorer you can do it. Just create one folder
with the same name of the CD label for future burn reference, and copy the CD content
to the folder. When the CD copy process find the scratch, in majority of the cases, it's
slow down the reading and will recover ALL loosed data.If not, it just tell you there's
an unreadable sector. In this case your CD is lost. But it's not my case, finally
windows explorer got all the data from the scratch and made a copy in the folder.
with the ultra ISO, wrote the original CD label, drop the content of the folder and
save as ISO. You can Test the new CD just mounting the iso in the Alcohol 120%. In my
case i did ISO of the two discs from MAX PAYNE 2 and tested installing from the mounted
ISO. Works like a charm. I got the 4 MB lost again. So, I have burned the CD and now i
have a working copy from the scratched one.

Sounds too bizarre, but works. Course you can jump the cleaning process and try to copy
the content with Windows explorer. But in my case did not work without oil...
