SYMPTOMS
Double-clicking the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) icon on the taskbar displays the number of computers connected to the ICS host. It can take up to 15 minutes before the correct number of connections is displayed.



CAUSE
ICS holds Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports open for a client for up to 10 minutes after the activity on that port has stopped. When a port is open for a client, ICS counts the port as a connected client. The count of connected computers is updated after the port is closed.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
