Benefits of this configuration:
- Less expensive - No additional hardware needed
- Reliability - One piece of hardware to deal with on connectivity issues.
- Security - Proxy server or Internet server is not exposed on the internet
- Shared Access Point - Using a PC as an IP sharing server can put the entire lab's connectivity at risk
- The shared PC is more susceptible to software problems by children using the PC as a workstation
- This puts connectivity in jeopardy for all machines not just one
