ICS issue

[Guest]

After a lot of finageling, ICS works like a charm. Only problem now is
that the network connection does not show in the ICS internet gateway
the way it use to.

I have two computers networked and am using ICS to share a dial up
connection. Works like it is suppose to...once I got the address and
firewall settings right. But the gatway doesn't show and it is the
task tray icon on the client PC that shows networking traffic. I like
to see that

Even on the host the gateway connection does not show...only the
dialup connection with sharing shows. Use to, doesn't now.

So, how do I get these internet gateways to show up in the Network
Connections view??

The Internet Gateway connection isn't supposed to appear on the host
computer.

To make it appear on the client computer:

1. Make sure that the "SSDP Discovery Service" is running:

a. Right click My Computer, and click Manage.
b. Double click Services and Applications.
c. Double click Services.
d. Double click "SSDP Discovery Service". If the Service status is
Stopped, click Start.
e. If the Startup type is Disabled, set it to Manual.

2. Make sure that the "Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control
Client" networking service is installed:

a. Click Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs.
b. Click "Add/Remove Windows Components".
c. Scroll down the list of components and double click "Networking
Services".
d. If there's a box for "Internet Gateway Device Discovery and
Control Client", put a check mark in it.

You might need to reboot or to disable and enable the network
connection to make changes take effect.

The service not running was the problem. Thanks.
