Disable DNS proxy in ICS

[Anony Mouse]

Does anyone know of a registry hack or utility that disables ICS's
built-in DHCP or DNS proxies under XP Pro?

I've got a service listening on 192.168.0.1:53 on an XP Pro box with
ICS, which I'd like to disable.

UDP 192.168.0.1:53 *:*

'tasklist /svc' tells me this port is bound by svchost.exe, which
appears to be the ICS service. Stopping the ICS service frees this
port, starting ICS binds it again.

This is the closest KB article I could track down:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q250603

I'd like to continue using ICS without the DNS proxy on 192.168.0.1:53
or the built-in DHCP server.

No, ICS is an all or none service. You cannot disable parts of it. Is there
a specific reason you do not want to use the ICS DNS Proxy?
