Steps on How To Network Two Computers By Sharing Internet from Windows

  1. Connect the two computers with an Ethernet cable. Use an Ethernet cable to connect your two computers to one another.
    • You’ll need an Ethernet to USB-C adapter to plug into your Mac’s Thunderbolt 3 port before you can attach an Ethernet cable to a Mac.
  2. Open Start  . Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
    • Make sure that you do this on the computer from which you’re sharing Internet, not the one that you just connected.
  3. Open Control Panel. Type in control panel, then click Control Panel when it appears at the top of the Start window.
  4. Click Network and Internet. You’ll find this heading on the left side of the Control Panel window.
    • If your Control Panel page has “Small icons” or “Large icons” written in the top-right corner, skip this step.
  5. Click Network and Sharing Center. It’s in the middle of the page. This will open a list of your current connections.
  6. Click Change adapter settings. You’ll find this option in the upper-left side of the window.
  7. Select both the Wi-Fi connection and the Ethernet connection. Click the computer icon that has “Wi-Fi” under it, then hold down the Ctrl key and click the computer icon that has “Ethernet” under it.
  8. Right-click the Wi-Fi connection. Doing so prompts a drop-down menu to appear.
    • If your mouse doesn’t have a right-click button, click the right side of the mouse or use two fingers to click the mouse.
    • If your computer uses a trackpad instead of a mouse, use two fingers to tap the trackpad or press the bottom-right side of the trackpad.
  9. Click Bridge Connections. It’s in the drop-down menu. After a moment, your computer’s Wi-Fi will be shared in a “bridged” connection with the other computer.
