Step 2:

1) After you click OK the Internet Connection Sharing Wizard should launch. At the main screen, click Next. You may get another screen that looks exactly the same or similar. Click Next again. When you get a screen that says: "What type of connection do you use to access the Internet?" mark High-speed connection (for example using a network adapter, ADSL, or Ethernet) then click Next. Now you will get a window that says "Internet Connection sharing will now create a Client Configuration Disk." You will need a blank, formatted floppy disk to proceed with this step. Follow the instructions for creating your Client Setup Disk. Use this disk to configure the browsers on the client machines to enable Internet Connection Sharing.
