Hi,

The ICS checkbox (which used to be there) is missing in
the Advanced tab of network properties. How to make it
appear again?

Lap,

which software did you install just before it disappeared? Can
you uninstall that program? Third party firewalls, virus
scanners, NAT programs etc. are particularly suspicious.

Disabling is often not sufficient---you have to uninstall the
stuff completely.

After that you may have to remove all components from network
properties, reboot, then add them again.

Hi Hans-Georg,

I didn't install any software at all. My virus scanner
was installed long before the problem exists. I actually
can no longer call up the network setup wizard.

Best Regards,
Lap
 
ICS cannot be used (and will not be shown if you have enabled a network
bridge. Disabling/removing the bridge will make the ICS option reappear.

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.
