ICS disable but RRAS said not

[impelse]

I am studying the chapter 9 of the official book, and I am brying to configure the RRAS, but when I click Configure and Enable Routing and Remote Access and I get a message:

ICS is currently enabled on COMPUTER1. To configure RRAS, please disable ICS and try again.

I did many time in Services:

Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) disable and stoped

And also I restarted, and still I get the same error.

I found in a web site something like:

Go to register and in the RemoteAccess change the ConfigurationFlags DWORD from 0 to 1, when I do that it and click configure I never got the wizard, just the MMC for RRAS and the options, but I feel that is missing some parameters like NAT, etc.

Any idea? Did you get this proble?

By the way the ISP interface card is disabled.

I think you have to give the network interface a static address, reboot and then ICS finally lets go. The you can return it back to where it was.

I has the static address 192.168.0.1

The one that does not have static address is disable.

I had the same problem, i tried to cheat and just attempted to disable the nic in the vm, and then stop the relevent service. Didnt work like the book said.

I re-enabled the nic and unchecked the ics checkbox i had enabled as part of the labs and it was fine after that. That ics checkbox must update a reg key or something.

I think i may have gone one further and changed the tcp/ip back to dhcp, but just try clearing the checkbox and rebooting first.

This is the way how I fixed.

I run dcpromo and remove the AD role, after that I went to the external network and clear the option Share this connection to connect to internet, when you have the domain controler role you do not have that option (and doesn't matter if you disable the service, the service will be active again in the background)

After that I run dcpromo again intallaing the domain controller role and I click RRAS and I could configure it.
