Sharing internet on LAN through ezproxy (Windows OS)

It has been my concern since long that how can I share the internet of my college to my hostel room , as my hostel and college is connected through LAN connection . After long search I found a software for internet sharing which is ezproxy . Click here to download it .
Now for internet sharing do as follows :-
  1.  There will be two computers on LAN , one which has internet connection (say A , it will be a type of server) and the other in which we want internet (say B , it will be the client) . Install ezproxy setup on A  ( Hope installing doesn't need any explanation ).
  2. Now on machine A you will find four icons in ezproxy as follows:
  3. Click on "Run ezProxy (App Mode) "
  4. Now click on ezProxy Manager . A new window will open . In that window , go to File -> Login . The default password to Login is 1234 .
  5. As you login into it you sequence of windows as follows :
  6. You can test by pinging to the machine B by inserting the IP address of B here and clicking Ping . It is just for checking the LAN connection . Click on Next>>
     Click on Next>>
    By default listen port is 8000 . You can change it to any other if you want . Click on Next>>
     Click on Next>>
     Click on Next>>
     Click on Finish .
  7. Now port no 8000 (or whatvever if you had changed)  has been forwarded for internet . 
  8. Now to use this internet on client machine i.e. B  you first open your browser and open proxy settings in it . 
  9. In Proxy Server IP address put the IP address of machine A and port no. 8000 (or whatever port that you have forwarded from A , by default it was 8000 ) .
Now you are done with the settings . You can start using internet on machine B . 

Enjoy !!!
