[edit] bandwidth limting

Can someone please add some ideas on how to setup bandwidth limiting within the I.C.S service in Windows XP?

I have found some utilities online however, I'm wondering if there is an official method or something else well known, that I can find reliable?

[edit] re-sharing

Can i re-share the internet connections with the sub-network PCs with ip address 192.168.0.1 on my PC which i connect to internet through shared network by else IP address such as "59.10.168.11"? Hyungjin Ahn 06:34, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

You want to share a connection (internet->computer->internal network) or share a shared connection (internet->computer->internal network(computer in internal network->another internal network))? In first case, it is exactly what this article is about. In second case, it might work as it is, if it does not work, you might try changing internal subnet's addresses (it will lose DHCP, though and addresses will have to be set manually). -Yyy 10:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] merge with Windows operating system

There isn't much to add to this article, which is currently categorized as a stub. It could just be described on a list of features of Microsoft Windows. --Afed 14:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It shouldn't be merget with Windows OS

I don't want read whole history and detail about windows just to find out ICS, it should remain indipendent.

@previous post —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Master037 (talk • contribs) 05:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC). ICS is not meant to be used profesionaly, only for fast setup and sharing internet connection to users. For what you need you can use CCProxy which has very good limiting options by ip or by mac address.

[edit] It should not be merged

ICS is a seperate subject. And when looking for what ICS is people should not end up in Windows OS article. We don't want to make w 100 pages Windows OS article containg detailed description of all Windows features, do we? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.14.226.83 (talk) 13:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] No way merging with Windows article.

Although its a stub, it can be expanded. This is a distinct network topic, there's no question of it being merged with a general article on Windows. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 221.128.181.107 (talk) 19:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Internal addresses

"The service is also not customizable in terms of which addresses are used for the internal subnet," and "The server will always have the IP address 192.168.0.1 and will provide NAT services to the whole 192.168.0.x subnet, even if the address on the client was set manually, not by the DHCP server." is not quite true, at least on windows xp. Local network addresses can be manually set to other subnet, doing so will just disable ICS's DHCP server (in such case there appears record in system log). NAT will work fine for any internal subnet. It is specified per HW interface, not IP address. -Yyy 09:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
