The ICS option only appears in the Properties | Advanced screen of an
Internet connection when all of these are true:

1. There are one or more network connections for the home network
(LAN). The home network can use an Ethernet, IEEE 1394 (FireWire), or
Bluetooth connection, but it can't use a serial or parallel
connection. With more than one available network connection, there
will be a box asking you to specify which one to use for the home
network.

2. The Internet Connection Firewall is disabled on the home network
connection(s).

3. The Internet connection isn't bridged.
