  • To enter the connection properties: by clicking on the Internet connection icon (on the desktop at the bottom right) with the right button, select " Network Management Center ..“.


  • And then open the " Change adapter settings". Here you need to click on the network icon (most often " Ethernet") With the right button, click on" Properties"And then open the" Access"And activate the string" Allow other users to use... .. ". But what if the lines " Connectivity home network " no? Only " Wireless network ", Because the menu does not drop out, in which there must be a connection necessary to us. In fact, it looks like this:


  • There is an exit. To do this, you need to open the properties of the adapter with which the network is connected. Then from the line " Allow connected network users to use the Internet ..."Remove the label, and press" OK“.


  • Then re-enter the properties of the adapter and return the checkmark to the location. After that, below the menu will open, which will be necessary for us " Local Area Connection 12"(May be different). Then activate it with the " OK“.


  • Also, the way to disconnect and turn on the network adapter is triggered. To do this, click on the connection icon and select " Disable". Then restart.


The performed manipulations should lead to the appearance of Internet access over the provided network for other devices.

If, nevertheless, the home network selection line still does not appear in the drop-down menu, then you need to check that the Internet network is really running, in the "Adapter Parameters" there should be a network icon "Local Area Connection (in our case 12)" with the active network.

  To fix the situation you need to do the following:

  1. First you need to check the presence of the " LAN connection* ". This can be done by opening the " Network and Internet", Then" Network connections". If there is an icon, then the network is running. Otherwise, you need to activate it using the above instructions.
  2. If only the " Ethernet", Then the tab" access "and the choice of connections to the networks will not be, because all connections are absent. A solution to this problem is to install the driver on the virtual adapter and start it. If the network connection is not one, you need to install the driver and start it again.
  3. There are cases when a checkmark is ticked for permission to the other users in front of the " Wireless network"In the properties of other connections, then you need to remove it and most likely the item" Access" at " Ethernet"Will appear.
  4. If you have the "Starter" version of the Windows 7 operating system, then you will not be able to share it.
  5. When configuring the provision of Internet from a 3G modem, it happens that the item " Access" absent. This is due to the model of the modem itself and its settings.
