Windows XP’s Internet Connection Sharing allows an ICS client computer to remotely monitor and control the ICS server computer’s Internet connection. This\u00a0Internet Gateway<\/b>\u00a0feature is available on computers running Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition, or Windows XP that have been configured as an ICS client using XP’s\u00a0Network Setup Wizard<\/a>. It isn’t available if you’ve configured the clients manually.<\/p>\n

If you’re sharing an always-on DSL or cable modem connection, a client computer can enable or disable it. If you’re sharing a dial-up connection, a client computer can connect or disconnect it, causing the ICS server computer to dial in or hang up. This can be a great convenience, since you don’t have to go to the server computer to take these actions. But it can cause trouble if someone disables or disconnects the server’s connection while other people are using the Internet.<\/p>\n

In the examples below, I’m sharing a cable modem connection. If you’re sharing a dial-up connection, you’ll see buttons labeled\u00a0Connect<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Disconnect<\/b>\u00a0instead of\u00a0Enable<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Disable<\/b>.<\/p>\n
