Sharing a cable internet connection in Australia

 

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of shared cable modem access! The aim of this tutorial is to explain, in so much detail that somebody with virtually no knowledge of computers can do it, how to share an Optus@Home or Bigpond Advance cable internet connection over a home network. If anything is unclear, please email me and I will try to modify this tutorial to explain things more clearly (but please read the FAQ first)! I'm always happy to receive comments or suggestions, alerts as to factual errors etc.
