I have a PC that is connected to a network which gives access to the
internet.
I wish to share this connection from the PC.

I can't connect anything else to the network apart from the PC itself.

Is it possible to share out the internet connection having the PC that
is connected acting as a hub or something?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.


OM

A router would be a much better idea. It sounds like you are trying to get
around a corporate policy. If it is just your ISP implementing a MAC
registering setup then most routers can clone the MAC from your pc. If I'm
totally off base I apologise. You could use Internet Connection Sharing. It
works fine but the pc connected to the internet has to be left on all the
time for the other devices that need internet connectivity to work.
