(it internally implements a DHCP server, allocates a new IP subnet for the wifi connection and does IP routing )Īmong other things this means that if you have a computer ‘A’ connected to the wired port of the mac ‘B’ (likely via switch or switch+router, since you presumably also want to connect your internet connection here) and another one ‘C’ connected via the wireless sharing feature of ‘B’, then:īecause A and B are directly connected so can reach each other. Internet Connection Sharing utilizes NAT and is thus a NAT-ed router and not a bridge. Normally when you say bridge you mean ‘level 2 network bridging’, which does not require a DHCP server, a separate IP subnet, IP routing, nor NAT. Mac Internet Connection Sharing is not a bridge in the normal meaning of the word. NOTE: this way you can connect to internet while you can maintain a secure distance from damaged buildings.
