Class: COMPLIANCEFamily: windows




Provides network access translation, addressing, name resolution and/or intrusion prevention services for a home or small office network. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is a feature that allows someone to "share" their Internet connection with other machines on the network - it was designed for home or small office environments where only one machine has Internet access - it effectively turns that machine into an Internet router. This feature causes the bridging of networks and likely bypassing other, more secure pathways. It should not be used on any enterprise-managed system. Default: Manual. Counter Measure: The recommended state for this setting is Disabled. Potential Impact: Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) will not be available. Wireless connections using Miracast will also be prevented. Fix: (1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\System Services\Internet Connection Sharing (2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess!Start
