 * The Winipcfg utility displays the Auto IP address on the LAN adapter.
 * The Network tool in Control Panel shows only the TCP/IP -> Network Adapter, and no "(HOME)" next to TCP/IP. The properties of this item show "Obtain an IP address automatically" instead of the 192.168.0.1 IP address and 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.
 * There is a Yellow Exclamation point on the ICS Adapter in Device Manager and it has a Code 2 error message.
