When we open the connection properties that are connected to the switch, there is an IP address (192.168.0.1).
IP Address that later would become his Default Gateway client computer.

Step 15.
The steps that we did earlier just to provide internet access permissions on the client computer, and to activate the license we need to set up the network that we have.
The trick is as follows:
Click the "Network Setup Wizard" in Control Panel.
Then click next.

Step 16.
That in step 16 is what you need to consider, because here there are differences in the settings for the LAN server computer and the client computer network.
In the option "Select the statement that best describes this computer"
To choose the first server computer that "This computer connects directly to the Internet.The of other computer on my network connect to the Internet through this computer" and then click next.

And for the second select the Client Computer is "This computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway or through another computer on my network" then click next.

This option is not there when we did the client computer settings.

Step 20.
Furthermore, the display file and printer sharing there is the question "What do you want to do" choose the "Turn on file and sharing" and then click next.
And then click next.

Wait a few moments until the computer has finished adjusting his new setting.

Step 21.
On the question "what do you want to do", then select "Just finish the wizard ..." and then click next.
