Enabling Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

Though ICS works similarly for all operating systems, each version of Microsoft®Windows® activates Internet Connection Sharing in its own way. Please see below for the operating system you are using.

In case of trouble, check Windows Help and the Microsoft website for information on Internet Connection Sharing.

Enabling Internet Connection Sharing for Windows XP

You must have administrative rights to enable ICS in Windows XP.

4Click 'Properties' at the bottom of this context menu.

>This will open the connection properties menu.
