2. INTRODUCTION
With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at
any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for most people. The
era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the
exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers.
Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than
two computers to access the Internet at the same time means less affordable,
higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one legal IP address over a single
Internet connection to link the home with the Internet.

Hardware connections :
Connect the Internet Broadband Router :
1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the 4-port
Internet Broadband Router.
2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL
or Cable modem.
3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer
system, the other end of the cable connects to the LAN port of the Internet
Broadband Router. Since the Internet Broadband Router has four ports,
you can connect up to four computers directly to the unit. There you do
not have to buy a switch to connect these computers since one Internet
Broadband Router functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a
switch.
