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.

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.

Powershell

  1. Import module:

    Import-Module IcsManager.dll

  2. List network connections:

    Get-NetworkConnections

  3. Start Internet Connection Sharing:

    Enable-ICS "Connection to share" "Home connection"

  4. Stop Internet Connection Sharing:

    Disable-ICS
