Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

He is not able to access the local resources because the ICS configuration has reset his IP address.
Key Takeaway: Internet Connection Sharing, or ICS, is used for sharing a single Internet connection on one computer with other computers on the same local area network. It makes use of DHCP and Network address translation (NAT). It routes TCP/IP packets from a small LAN to the Internet. It maps individual IP addresses of local computers to unused port numbers in the TCP/IP stack. Due to the nature of the NAT, IP addresses on the local computer are not visible on the Internet. All packets leaving or entering the LAN are sent from or to the IP address of the external adapter on the ICS host computer.
