Hello,
I've got this very perplexing problem while trying to
share out my cable broadband internet connection to my
other PC at home:
My Internet Connection Sharing options is unavailable.
Under the Advance tab for my LAN connection properties, I
can only see the check box for Internet Connection
Firewall, and nothing else. I understand I should be able
to see the Internet Connection Sharing option under it,
but it is empty.
I tried to install all the support tools from my winXP cd,
but I still can't see the Internet Connection Sharing
option.

Please kindly help,
Sahar

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.
