Notes
To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.
Establish a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet is enabled by default. Unless you clear the check box, clients can activate the shared Internet connection from their computers by starting their Internet browsers or mail programs.
For ICS on-demand dialing to work correctly for ICS clients, the connection must be an all user connection, with the credentials saved for all users.
The Establish a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet check box is independent of the Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection check box.
If the Establish a dial-up connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet check box is selected, when the ICS host computer detects a client's outbound Internet traffic, it connects to the Internet using the shared Internet connection. However, unless the Allow other network users to control or disable the shared Internet connection check box is selected, the client is unable to control when the connection connects or disconnects.
