Windows ICS

[Josh]

Does the Windows ICS option only come up after another
computer is connected the the main computer or does
something have to be installed for that option to show
up? I am asking because I would like to connect my Xbox
to the interent using this method, but I have not seen
the Windows ICS option only the Internet Connection
Firewall, maybe because I do not have the Xbox connected
yet.

The ICS option only appears when all of these are true:

1. There are at least two enabled, connected network connections: one
for the Internet, and one or more for the LAN.

2. The Internet Connection Firewall is disabled on the LAN
connection(s).

3. The Internet connection isn't bridged.
