Chapter 4 Shared Internet connection with a PC acting as a gateway In this example, the network devices are connected to a hub. A computer on the network acts as the gateway between the network and the Internet. The gateway computer uses Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to manage the network connections and provide Internet access to the other devices. DSL or cable Internet connection without a gateway This example looks similar to the first example. However, in this example, the network devices are connected to a hub, rather than a router. The hub is directly connected to the Internet. Caution HP does not recommend this configuration. If possible, use a gateway to manage the network's Internet access in order to limit exposure to viruses and guard against unwanted entry. Ethernet network without an Internet connection In this example, the network devices are connected to a hub. Devices use AutoIP to obtain IP addresses. Install the printer on an Ethernet network Installing the printer on an Ethernet network is a two-part process. 50 HP Deskjet 6980 series
