XP and ICS

[JohnC]

How can I remove ICS? I've got a pc directly connected to
a router that connects to my cable modem. I don't need to
run ICS but it seems to come up all the time. Is there
any way to remove it? Even though I go through the
network setup wizard and select the configuration that
describes multiple machines having connections to a
hub/router connected to the internet, ICS seems to still
be there and has to be enabled. If I disable it, I lose
connectivity to the internet.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can manually disable ICS by ...

1. Right-click on "My Network Places" and click on Properties.
2. Right-click on the Shared Adapter (Status will tell you which one is
shared) and click Properties.
3. Go to the Advanced Tab.
4. Uncheck the Internet Connection Sharing checkbox.
