    <p>I'm trying to share internet over a network adapter on windows-7 using <code>NetConLib.dll</code>.</p> <p>In order to do this, internet sharing should be <em>disabled</em> on all other network adapters.</p> <p>In <em>normal</em> cases. I can iterate all the installed network adapters and disable sharing on them. <em>However</em>, sometimes when the network device is <em>unplugged</em>, the adapter is <strong><em>hidden</em></strong> in windows. But it's properties is still present inside windows registry.</p> <p>I can't even find the adapter in Control Panel. And off course, can't iterate it using the <code>NetConlib</code> library.</p> <p><br/></p> <h1>Possible scenarios.</h1> <ul> <li><p>The easiest way, would be using a windows command to disable internet sharing on all the adapters. Regardless of their visibility.</p> <p><em>Is that possible in anyway ?</em></p></li> <li><p>The second solution is to recover the network adapter from hidden state, so that <code>NetConlib</code> could iterate through it and disable it.</p> <p><em>I tried to find the adapter's properties in windows registry and <code>unhide</code> it, But couldn't find anything</em>.</p></li> </ul> <p><strong>Any solution?</strong></p> <hr> <h1>@erm3nda.</h1> <p>Thank you for the informative answer. Although it didn't fix the problem I'm facing with <code>NetConlib</code>.</p> <p>SC config correctly shuts down ICS service. But the shared network adapter continues on being <em>flagged</em> as <code>Shared</code><sup><strong>1</strong></sup>. So ICS service being turned <em>off</em> doesn't seem to affect the adapters' settings.</p> <p>Quite interestingly; when you try to share another adapter using windows GUI (<code>Right click on adapter -&gt; Properties -&gt; Share</code>), a message is prompted telling you </p> <blockquote> <p>"there is another adapter being shared currently, your new adapter will be shared instead". You click ok and it's done.</p> </blockquote> <p>I've been digging the entire internet the whole afternoon to see if there are other solutions using CMD commands.</p> <p>Maybe there could be a away to share an adapter with a command. This way windows would handle disabling other adapters. In a similar way as when the GUI is used.</p> <hr> <p><sup><strong>1: Windows tells you which adapter is currently being shared in <code>Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections</code>).</strong></sup></p>
