How to use edge/zoom modem to share multiple PCs

First We need to establish LAN Connection by HUB or Switch:

Then setup Home or Small Office network Setup with the following command:

Go to My Computer --> My Network Places --> Click set up a home or small office network ---> then complete set up

Now we need to configure IP Address of the computers: ( If configured previously then skip this step)



First configure the PC where the modem is connected.

  • For this go to My Computer --> My Network Places --> View Network Connection --> Now right click on Edge/Zoom--> Properties --> Advanced --> Click on allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection --> OK.
  • It will convert IP Address to 192.168.0.1 but now we will change our IP address by doing the following.
  • Again go to My Computer --> My Network Places --> View Network Connection -->Then Right click on Local Area Connection --> Properties --> Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) --> Click Properties --> Click on Use the following IP address --> Now use Class C level IP Address (for example, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.175.15 etc.) the first three octate that is 192.168.0 or 192.168.175 must be same for the all pc under same network, otherwise it won't work and the last octate/number must be different for all the PC in the same network --> Now subnet mask will be added automatically, if not, then write here 255.255.255.0
Now the proxy server , i.e. where the edge/zoom modem is connected is completed.

Now we will configure the PC which will share this internet connection:
  • go to My Computer --> My Network Places --> View Network Connection -->Then Right click on Local Area Connection --> Properties --> Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) --> Click Properties --> Click on Use the following IP address --> Now write IP Address (for example, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.175.15 etc.) the first three octate that is 192.168.0 or 192.168.175 must be same for the all pc under same network, otherwise it won't work and the last octate/number must be different for all the PC in the same network --> Now subnet mask will be added automatically, if not, then write here 255.255.255.0 --> Now default gateway and Preferred DNS server will be the IP Address of the Zoom/edge connected PC's IP address (i.e. 192.168.0.1 or your previous choice) -->Now Click OK
The all steps has been completed. You can now browse from this computer by Internet Explorer or Firefox browser. Try it.
