SUMMARY
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) supports the most common Internet programs and protocols to provide basic Internet access. This includes HTTP, Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), and Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). In addition, ICS supports the DirectPlay and BattleNet Internet gaming standards.

MORE INFORMATION
If a program does not work with ICS, the program may be placing address information in the data portion of the TCP/IP packet. If this is the case, it may be impossible for the program to work with ICS unless the software publisher provides a program-level translator, or a Network Address Translation (NAT) editor, that enables ICS to find the address information. ICS provides the following editors:
 * Microsoft Windows CE Services - TCP ports 5678- 5679
 * CuSeeMe - UDP ports 7648 and 7649, TCP ports 7649 and 24032
 * DirectPlay - UDP port 47624, TCP port 47624
 * FTP Server - TCP port 21
 * IRC Server - TCP ports 6667 and 7000
 * Microsoft NetMeeting (h.323) - TCP ports 1720, 1503
 * Web Server - TCP port 80
 * Microsoft Terminal Server - TCP port 3389
 * Oracle - UDP ports 1524-1527, TCP ports 1524-1527
 * Microsoft Virtual Private Networking - TCP port 1723
 * Quake - UDP 26000,27500,27910
 * Microsoft File Sharing Server Message Block (SMB) - UDP ports 135-139, TCP ports 135-139
 * SIP Music - UDP port 3264, TCP port 3264
 * pcAnywhere - UDP ports 561,5632,, TCP ports 5631, 5632,65301
 * LapLink - UDP port 1547 and TCP port 1547
 * VDOPhone - UDP port 32649 and TCP ports 7000, 7010
 * ProComm Plus 4.7 - TCP port 5414
 * X-Windows Server - TCP port 6000

This list does not guarantee that all programs using these protocols will function through an ICS host. If a program uses one of these protocols in a non-standard way, such as assigning ports other than the default, the program may not function through the ICS host.
