Internet Connection Sharing
Internet Connection Sharing is a way to share your internet connection for other computers. It requires two network cards on your computer. It also requires a crossover cable or a switch/hub between your network cards. You can use this if you have to pay for an internet connection. With ICS two or more people can connect while only paying for one. You can also use this to make a machine as a gateway for your office. However, complications arise if you are running a Windows Active Directory domain or already have a DHCP server. This feature is available on Microsoft Windows 2000, xp, vista, 7, server 2000, 2003, 2008.

Sun VirtualBox Windows 7 install part 3
This is a video about how to install Windows 7 on VirtualBox. VirtualBox is virtualization software available for Microsoft Windows, Intel Macs and Linux machines. It’s made to run on a desktop as it does not have the features required for a production environment. The good thing is that you can run it on your machine with relatively little changes to your host machine. If you are a Mac or Linux Person, you can use it to run Windows. If you are a Windows Person, you can use it to run Linux since Linux does not run well on Virtual PC. VirtualBox is available from Sun at http://VirtualBox.org
