Description
Internet Gateway
Internet Gateway is a handy little tool that helps you share your Internet connection across multiple computers on the same network. It uses TCP and UDP dynamic NAT to redirect your connection smoothly.
Lightweight Tool for Easy Sharing
This software is lightweight, meaning it won’t take up much space on your hard drive or use up a lot of system resources. Installing it takes just a couple of seconds, and you can start using it right away.
User-Friendly Interface
When you launch Internet Gateway, you'll see a simple main window. Here, you can check out existing connection names along with their MAC addresses and NAT status. It’s straightforward!
Basic Knowledge Required
Now, this tool isn’t exactly for everyone. You’ll need some basic knowledge about how networks work to get started. First, pick the connection you want to share. A quick double-click brings up the properties window where you can see the internal name and IP address.
Setting Up Your Connection
In that properties window, set the connection’s NAT status to ‘Provider’. After that, identify your home network interface and mark it as a client from the main window.
The Final Steps
You might think clicking the NAT button is all there is to it, but there's one more step: configuring each client on your network with static IP addresses manually. This is really the only downside to using Internet Gateway—but hey, once it's done, everyone gets their own Internet connection without hassle!
A Great Option for Experienced Users
Overall, while Internet Gateway might not look super appealing to newbies, it’s a no-nonsense tool that makes sharing your Internet connection across multiple computers easy!
