Internet connection sharing can be done with almost any kind of connection including cable modems, DSL, modems, ISDN, dial-up, satellite, fixed wireless, etc. Internet connection sharing (ICS) provides the ability to connect a home network or a private network to the Internet. Besides, ICS also provides name resolution services, automatic IP addressing to local hosts, and network address translation. ICS can be configured on a new or pre-existing dial-up connection or LAN connection. The ICS server must have a connection to the ISP for Internet connection, and a network adapter to connect to the local LAN.
