Address Registry Settings

The following table shows the named values for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnectionSharing\Addresses\Address registry key that you can use to configure IP addresses for ICS.

Note   The default registry values vary depending on which features are included in your platform. For more information, see Default Registry Settings.

Value : type Description
DeviceName : REG_SZ Name of the device associated with the IP address corresponding to the Address subkey containing the DeviceName subkey.

This value can be any valid machine name less than 16 characters long.

The DHCP allocator sets this and all values for any given Address automatically when the allocator receives a new DHCP request. A user, however, can also set these values to create an address and machine name mapping.

Expires : FILETIME structure Default setting is zero (0).

Specifies the time at which an IP address becomes invalid. The valid range for this value is 0 to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

To keep an address in the address table permanently, set this subkey to 0XFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
