I've noticed that every time i reboot my windows xp sp3, the other person that im sharing my connection with cant get connected to the internet later. So when this happens, i have to use the ICS wizard to setup my pc to being a ICS host again. I have to do this every time i reboot or after i power back my pc.

How do i fix this?

Personally, I'd solve it with a broadband router.

You might try this process.

1. Disable ICS.
2. Run the repair below.
3. Enable ICS.

See if that keeps it from losing it's settings.


TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2/SP3.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands:

Note: Type only the text in bold for the following commands.

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults, type: netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults, type: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reboot the machine.
