Solutions: Router vs. software-based Internet sharing
Q. You published my problem with my home network (June 10) and your solution worked. Thank you! You also recommended using a router in place of software-based Internet connection sharing. I had previously rejected this idea because doing so would connect four computers directly to my cable Internet service provider, and it would charge me for each computer, raising my (already too high) cable bill. By using the Internet sharing method, I have only one computer connected to the ISP.
