Is there a way to enable and disable Internet Connection Sharing from
the command prompt as oppose to doing it manually via the dialog
boxes?

Thanks,

Hi,
I don't believe that there is a command that will
actually 'enable' and 'disable' ICS. However, if you set
the service to manual you can then use cmd prompt to
start and stop the service. To stop the service enter the
following cmd into the run box:

net stop "Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS)" /y

To start the service enter:

net start "Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS)" /y

Hope this helps.
