SHARING ACCESS WITH A DEVICE NEARBY

摘要

Concepts and technologies are described herein for providing automated network connection sharing. Techniques disclosed herein can initiate Internet connection sharing between a first computer and a second computer, wherein the Internet connection sharing enables the first computer to function as a host to provide Internet access to the second computer. If there is a break in the connection, a system determines if the second computer is in proximity to the first computer. If it is determined that the first computer is in proximity to the second computer, the techniques disclosed herein verify access rights. Once the access rights are verified, the system automatically establishes Internet connection sharing between the first computer and the second computer. The techniques disclosed herein enable access to a service for sharing a network connection without requiring user interaction.
