Windows 8.1 Group Policies For Internet Connection Sharing?

Are there any more detailed policies available other than simply allowing or blocking Internet Connection Sharing?
I need to find out if there are policies allow management of Internet Connection Sharing? For instance we would like to allow ICS, but control it so that it cannot be set up by the user in unsafe manner.
We would like to either set the PSK password in advance or at least disallow weak ICS WPA passwords. It would also be a good idea if we could set up ICS so that only domain joined computers from our domain could join the ICS session from another computer
on our domain or else disallow direct access and file sharing between the ICS host and the guests joining the ICS network.
Can these types of things be managed via group policy?

No.

Time Capsule as remote device for internet connection sharing

I'm doing tech support for my parents. They have a Netopia DSL/4-port ethernet router/wireless router in one room. They just bought a Time Capsule. They have three laptops: one PowerBook G4 with airport. one PowerBook G4 without airport, and one iBook G3.
The Netopia router is in one room (Room A).
Mom's two airport-less computers are in another room (Room B).
I've set up the Time Capsure in Room B, with it set up to extend the wireless network from the DSL wireless router in Room A.
As far as a wireless Airport Disk, it works. However, when I use ethernet cables to connect the computers that do not have airport, I cannot get the airport disk to show up for either of them. Network preferences for each wired computer shows that ethernet is connected but that it has a self-assigned address and cannot connect to the internet.
When a Time Capsule is set up to extend a wireless network, can you use ethernet cables to hook up non-airport computers to the Time Capsule? Access the internet from it (DSL router - wireless to Time Capsules - wired to PowerBook G4)? Access the Time Capsules own drive (It's not showing up as a server in finder when connected via ethernet cable).

I assume you have configured the Time Capsule as a wireless client on this existing wireless network. "Extending" the existing wireless network with a Time Capsule (ie configuring it as a remote base station) is not possible, since the Netopia wireless router doesn't support this mode of operation of the Time Capsule.
Although not explicitly stated in Apple's documentation for the Time Capsule it is my assumption that the Time Capsule - when configured as a wireless client on a wireless network - does not have active ethernet ports and cannot be used as a wireless-to-wired bridge device.

After updating to windows 8.1 my wire less internet connection is getting disconnected intermittently

After updating to windows 8.1 my wire less internet connection is getting disconnected intermittently .I am unable to predict the frequency or time
period this is occurring.But now i am really struggling to use the internet.I have tried my laptop vendor support and Microsoft support both failed to provide a solution.Please help me to resolve.I have installed the Wifi driver from real tek site many times
,but that is not helping.kindly provide me the guidance.
when i searched in internet i am able to see many people are struggling with this same issue .

Hi,
You can refer to this blog, and try to roll back to the older version of network adapter driver to check the results. Other suggestions can also be used to troubleshoot your issue.
Windows 8.1 Wifi showing "limited" or "No Internet Access"
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dennis_schnell/archive/2013/08/31/windows-8-1-wifi-showing-quot-limitied-quot-or-quot-no-internet-access-quot.aspx
Meanwhile, please check with the manufacturer of your router to update the firmware.
If the issue persists, please help to collect following information for further research:
1) Enable RAS Tracing on the client.
- Over an Administrative command prompt.
- C:\> netsh ras set tracing * enabled
2) On the client enable the following log as well:
- Over an Administrative command prompt.
- C:\> netsh trace start scenario=netconnection capture=yes tracefile=c:\net.etl
3) Now, turn off Wireless adapter on the client and Turn it back ON for making it to authenticate. Once it fails to connect to the Wireless network, proceed to the next step.
4) Disable RAS Tracing on the client.
- Over an Administrative command prompt.
- C:\> netsh ras set tracing * disabled
5) On the client disable the following log as well:
- Over an Administrative command prompt.
- C:\> netsh trace stop
6) Please provide the following files:
From the Client:
a) ZIP folder of C:\Windows\Tracing
b) C:\Net.etl and C:\Net.cab
Upload these files in SkyDrive and post back the shared link.
Keep post.

Can i use new TC to connect wirelessly to home network and plug my tv into the time capsule for internet connectivity?

My new tv needs to plug into an ethernet port for internet connectivity.
I'm hoping it can plug into my TC however my TC is wirelessly connected to my current home network... how can i get this to work?
TC version A1470 (i think, brand new)
Many thanks.
Ben

If the TC is connected to a wireless network provided by another Apple router, then the TC extends the network by default, and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the TC.
If the TC is connected to a third party network wirelessly, then it must have been setup to "join" the wireless network. When the TC is set up this way, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive and nothing more. The Ethernet ports are not enabled when the TC "joins" a wireless network.
So, a logical first troubleshooting step would be to confirm "how" the TC is currently set up. To do that.....assuming that you are using a current or recent version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.......
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the TC icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Network Mode and report on that

Network Configuration Window Freezes When USB NDIS Internet Connection Sharing and Ethernet Port Are Used Simultaneously

Current Setup:
Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet. Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics). RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.
I will refer to this setup as my tower.
The Ethernet port works fine by itself. When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.
The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously. The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.
I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network). I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem. I am able to
do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet.
Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card? If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
Any help would be very appreciated.

I had the same problem and came here by searching.
Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
Now you will have two options:
- Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
- Remote NDIS Compatible Device
I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver.

What is the easiest way to check for internet connection in C#?

Hi!
I searched a lot but I didn't get my answer. I'm looking for the easiest way to check for internet connection. Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Pouya Ebrahimzadeh,
I suggest you could connect a site to check if it can be opened.
Public Shared Function CheckForInternetConnection() As Boolean
Try
Using client = New WebClient()
Using stream = client.OpenRead("https://msdn.microsoft.com/")
Return True
End Using
End Using
Catch
Return False
End Try
End Function
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Can i run a printer off the ethernet cable connection without hurting the imac or is the ethernet slot only for internet connection?

can i run a printer off the ethernet cable connection without hurting the imac or is the ethernet slot only for internet connection?

Hi, Alan -
How can I connect to both printer (HP 4050n, via direct connection) and internet (via LAN), as my iMac has only one R45 port?
You can, but you'll need to expand your cabling a bit.
You'll need to get an intermediate ethernet hub, switch, or router. That device sits alone, with the Mac, your printer, and your modem/LAN plugged into it.
If you are already using a router, either separate or in combination with the modem (many modems have a built-in router), then you just need a hub or switch.
I use an ethernet switch (10/100/1000) to let both my Macs (a 2010 iMac and an elderly G4 DA model) use my HP4000n printer and my modem. The ethernet switch is a passive device, meaning there's no setup nor instructing it required - it's truly plug-and-play. All four items (two Macs, printer, and modem) are plugged into it via ethernet; both Macs have full-time independent access to the printer and the modem.

Can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and Airport express for printer

How / can I use Ethernet for Internet connection and use an airport express to set up wifi for printer and Apple TV?
Macbook Pro. OS X 10.9.4

I've never tried it, so I don't know what the results will be.
However, you can move Ethernet to the top of the Services list in Network System Prefs which will cause it to be the Internet source. There is a command in the gear menu to set the Service order. However, after thinking about it, if there isn't an internet connection via Wi-Fi, it might automatically drop down to the Ethernet connection.
Then, you can set up your Wi-Fi so that it doesn't connect to the Internet, as Linc stated. How to do that would be dependent on the Router.

I have a data plan on my iPad? Can you tether from an iPad to a laptop for Internet connection?

I have a data plan on my iPad? Can you tether from an iPad to a laptop for Internet connection?

Yes if your iPad is a New iPad and you have a "hotspot" plan from your provider.

Can I use I-Phone 4 for internet connection?

can I use I-Phone 4 for internet connection to I Pad ?

If your cell carrier supports tethering and the WiFi "hot spot" feature, as AT&T does, yes.

Application asks for internet connection

Hi,
When I start any application, that I wrote with python for my Nokia 5800(software version 60.0.003), it asks me for internet connection. Application doesn't use it or need it. And if I skip it applications works fine.
I'm using ensymble(PyS60 application packager 2.0.0) with Python 2.5.2 to create application, and python version 2.0.0 on Nokia phone.
I tried to put just "--caps=" or "--caps=ReadUserData" to check if this will remove it, but it still asks for access point. Even for simple application as: print"Hello world!"
Does somebody knows how can I remove this?
Thanks.

First you've to add your WLAN network and define the settings. Now, if you open the browser in always ask mode, your new defined WLAN should be there.

Internet Connection Sharing using java

Dear all,
I am currently trying to figure out a solution for making an application which would help me accomplish ICS.
I have googled for ideas on this, without too much help.
My ideas so far :
1) Detect input(wait a min. how can I detect if this is the "live" wire ?) from a network interface and then try to share/redirect the traffic to the other n/w interfaces.
2) Actually listing all the n/w interfaces and asking the user to select the master interface.
the problem is, this may also have a few wireless connections hence I would need to know the signal strengths and then post WAP/WEP info too.
I am thinking of using jpcap for this.
This is the first time I am doing such a thing. Please let me know how do I proceed with this. I dont even know if the lines that I am thinkin on (1 & 2) are even correct.
I would be grateful for any pointers on this.
rgds,

If you are talking about NAT? like the real internet connection sharing that many routers, firewalls, etc use to virtualize an IP then it cannot be done in PURE JAVA. Of course you can do something with JNI and possiably even get it to work. But then you will probably just be using features of the platform that your computer is installed upon as in order to do NAT, you have to be able to inject your code into the IP stack code.
Linux you could do it easily as long as the kernel supported it, as you would just have to run ipchains/ipfw commands.
in windows, I have no idea.
However, if you are talking about a proxy, then there are many implementations already done. Proxies are almost trivial to implement these days.

UML290 Internet Connection Sharing

Once upon a time a Verizon Tech helped me set up ICS on my WinXP machines... And, I promptly forgot some of the details. So, I am sharing them here.
Basically, what you will be doing is sharing the UML290 Internet Connection while using the Host Computers Ethernet as the Default Gateway.
BTW, You can rename your Network Connections so that they are easier to keep straight in your head. Right-Click on a Network Connections Line Entry and rename.
On The Host Computer (The one that *HAS* the 4G lte Modem Connected to it.)
On your 4G lte properties, under the 'Advanced' tab, in the Internet Connection Sharing block, check both boxes.
Under the 'General' tab make sure both 'Automatically' check boxes are checked.
On The Host Computer Ethernet Properties, under the 'General' Tab, Use the following IP Address: 192.168.0.1 with a mask (automatically set when you tab out) set to: 255.255.255.0
To set up the Client Computer (The one that the USB Modem is *NOT* connected to) you will need to know the Primary and Alternate DNS servers IP addresses. To do so...
1. Open Network Connections
2. Right-Click on the Modem entry
3. Click on 'Status'
4. Select the 'Support' tab
5. Select the 'Details' button
Copy down the DNS Servers IP Addresses... Then close everrything out.
On the Client Computer select the Ethernet Connection being used to interconnect the two Computers.
You may need a Cross-Over Cable if either or both Computers have any age ont them.
Some newer computers automatically detect and switch over, not needing a cross-over cable.
*IF* your computers can't see each other at all, you need to obtain a Cross-Over Cable.
OK, moving on... Under the General Tab: Select Use the following IP Address:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Close out of all property boxes...
Bring up your Browser and see if it can find Google or any other site you need to get to.
Hope This Helps...

VZAM sometimes does not unload properly, so it's running even if you don't see it. You may see one (or even two) instances of the process in the Task Mgr. You can kill it and restart it. One reason it takes time to start and stop is that it has to wait for Wireless Zero Config service to stop so it can take control of WiFi connections. When it exits, is usually restarts WZC service.
You can also set yoru VZAM prefs for manual startup of the program and connections. In this case if a connection is lost, you may have to manually re-connect.
