First of all you will need to disable the satic IP and ICS (if you have set previously). After that go to Control panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing center > Managing network connections (on the right corner)> Select all connections > right click on one of the connection > click "Network bridging". When finished, right click on the icon of Network Bridge > select "properties" > unlock the UAC >remove the tick of your internet connection in the upper box > click "OK". After that right click the icon of your internet connection > select "properties" > unlock the UAC > go to the "sharing" page, tick both check box. > click "OK". Thats it
