do you want to share it remotly (kind of like a proxy) or locally bacause if it is locally there is nothing that your isp can do but if it is remotely it sometimes pisses them off because they are more that likely running an IDS which might detect your WAN (wide area network
Google is GOD!

do you actually expect someone to just write up a long thread on how to setup an illegal WAN ? Wrong site, go to www.google.com like msmittens said if you want more info, however, if you want to setup ics on your LAN that is perfectly cool with me, what OS do you plan on running? If unix i suggest that you just buy a router, it would make things much easier and work much more efficiently, hell even for doze, except its 1000x easier on doze.Quote:

you also need to learn how to turn off caps lock.
Yes its just proper nettiquete. Plus i believe from win 98 up they have a setting to share your connection with another computer.

Define shareing.... FTP, WAN, LAN, & ect? But I do know that if you have a high speed connection or the right cards/cabels you could easyly setup just about anything you want. And as fl34bit3 was saying, anything above a 98 like a NT based OS should handel better and sometimes it may already have things like plug and play and a bunch of server/client software. After that if you've found all of that stuff on your comp all you'd really need to worry about by then is the hardware side of setting things up.
If its just going to be something P2P like FTP then all you need to do is setup a FTP server on your comp.
Maybe hes thinking of ICS (Internet connection sharing) or NAT if you want to get fancy.

First I would recommend to contact your ISP. Somtiems internet sharing is Illegel, and it wouldn't be a good thing if you got caught. Second it all depends on what you want to do with your internet sharing. Personally i would set up a router on your server all depends on how many computers you have and what you want to use them for.
hmmmm nice site homenethelp.com .i want to share it with a proxy . yeah like a proxy server ! like a master and slave computer.server and client !
Like said many times here on AO, you can easily setup such a network using a router product from DLink, NetGear, SMC, 3Com, Cisco, whatever... If you realy want versatility and expansion possibilities, or things like a print server, gateway, firewall, dns proxy, DHCP server all-in-one-product look for a unix or linux solution. Probably the best but not so easy to set up is building a BSD box. You can go for easy one-floppy-disk-linux-routers (firewall / gateway / router solutions). These little things run of one disk and a simple 80486 box. If you want a webproxy then you should consider a better system (at least a Pentium I or II) when using a broadbandconnection, otherwise the box will be a bottleneck.
A proxy program running on an NT box, is not that stable e.g. crashes a lot, needs expensive updates / installs /... For boxes that have something to do with firewall / routing / gateway / dns / ... IMHO linux rules; you reboot those to add hardware, or in case of changes made by the ISP. And they all run on lower spec hardware or the same to do more then the MS boxes do and they are FREE. I'm not saying that linux is always the best solution, but for those tasks ... guess once
A few url's to get you on track:

Anyway if you do not have a spare box, go with ICS on your own risk ;)
It's possible that ICS or NAT is not allowed by your ISP, read your AUP before proceding.
