"Internet Connection" on Client has no means of disconnecting?
Just 2 XP Home machines with an RJ-45 Lan Ethernet crossover cable; dial-up connection on the Host.
I have to activate the internet connection "manually" (Win Update, Norton AV Auto-update for instance won't connect unless I do this first), but, having done so, Network Connections/Internet Gateway says I am disconnected, even though data may be flowing; I can't find how to disconnect other than physically going to the other machine and disconnecting there, which sort of misses the point of the network. Am I missing something here please? (On the Host I have had to uncheck "make a connection whenever another machine on the network wishes to connect to the internet" because something on the Client - Win u/d or Norton autoupdate? - keeps opening a connection which then stays open if no-one is about to spot it and manually disconnect; "disconnect if idle after ... mins" doesn't work because, as ZoneAlarm Pro tells me, there's always something out there trying the connection. Is this anything to do with the problem?) MilesG |

MilesG I don't know why the Internet Gateway on the client isn't working as advertised, but here's a program that should do what you want: install Remote Disconnect Utility on the client and the host.

Meanwhile I found this MS article, but don't know if it is relevant. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=311074 You're welcome, Miles. I don't think that article is relevant. It documents the fact that closing Internet Explorer on an ICS client doesn't make it ask whether you want to hang up the dial-up connection. That's because an ICS client connects to the Internet through its local area network connection. The client doesn't know that it's actually connecting through the host's dial-up connection. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
