Internet Connection Sharing Manager

It is a simple command line tool for turning ICS on or off on Windows 7 and higher.

I wrote it because the netsh routing command which could be used for this in Windows XP is not available in Windows 7.

Requirements

  • Windows 7 or higher.
  • .NET Framework 4.0.

It seems that System.Management.Automation is no longer supported by .NET. There is an unofficial package https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Management.Automation.

You can install it in Visual Studio by open Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console and type

PM> Install-Package System.Management.Automation -Version 6.1.7601.17515

Building

Run build.cmd.

Usage

All commands require administrative privileges.


icsmanager info

Display information about currently available connections:

  • name
  • guid
  • status
  • address
  • gateway
  • sharing status

icsmanager enable {GUID-OF-CONNECTION-TO-SHARE} {GUID-OF-HOME-CONNECTION} [force]
icsmanager enable "Name of connection to share" "Name of home connection" [force]

Enable connection sharing. Use the force argument if you want to automatically disable existing connection sharing.


icsmanager disable

Disable connection sharing.
