This video demonstrates how to share your network's internet access on all client computers. It highlights the simple, but necessary configuration that is needed to share the internet access to all student machines. Some simple settings such as DHCP server, DNS server and default gateway settings are highlighted without going into the depths of each. In majority of the cases this will serve as a sufficient DIY guide. In some advanced cases, one may have to seek help from their IT coordinator.

Herein are those simple steps:
- It is very easy to share the Internet connection available on your network with all client systems
- Your internet router should have a DHCP server configured similar to as shown herein
- The DHCP server serves the following - client IP addresses, the internet gateway IP address and the DNS server(s)
- Contact your IT-coordinator if you do not have access to the router
- This is the configuration of our demo network’s DHCP server. Yours may vary.
- Checking on the MSS directly. It should be operating in dynamic mode
- When in dynamic mode, the Default Route should be the same as the DHCP server's gateway address
- Now checking on a client system
 -- Open Terminal, 
 -- Execute /sbin/route -n
 -- The Gateway IP address for the Destination 0.0.0.0 should match that configured in the DHCP server
- With such configuration, it is assured that Internet will be accessible on the client system and can be tested via a browser
