    Fax monitor viewer

    Internet connection sharing - ICS

    When I open up Network and Dial-up Connections in the control panel, right click on my Local Area Connection and go to Properties, I have a General tab but no Sharing tab. I checked add windows components in add/remove programs but it's not listed. Any idea why I don't have this feature. Thanks
