What is Internet Connection Sharing?

I have ICS set up because I can only get dial-up in my area. One thing I noticed is that every once in a while the client computers will no longer be able to access the internet. I have been unable to find out why it is doing this but have figured out how to make it work again. Just go and disable ICS and then enable again. It works for while then I have to do that again.

Obviously it gets annoying doing this every week. Does anybody know of a permanent fix?

We find that our main computer that is connected to the modem (a cable modem, as it happens) must be booted up first. After waiting a minute or two we turn on the second computer and wait a few minutes for it to communicate with the first computer. After doing this, ICS works fine. If we restart one computer then we must also restart the other computer, otherwise we lose the internet on the second computer.

i would like to know how to get to ICF and ICS step by step.

secondly i would like to know the required hardware and software to connect to the internet.

On my Host puter I lose all of the places where one would set up ics. I was working ok. It says in the cadvance tab that wmi is possible corrupted
How does one restore using restore does not correct.

Hi Leo,

I am not being able to turn off ICS on my Vista laptop. I don't understand why it is turned on in the first place, it is greyed out. Can you please tell me how I can turn off ICS?
thanks.
