I'm trying to make Android 4.4.2 device Micromax Unite 2 - A106 to share PC's internet connection.
I've a PC at home which has highspeed broadband internet connection. I don't have wireless router or access point. I just want to use PC's internet connection on my phone.
In my phone when I connect my phone, in Settings > Wireless & networks > USB Internet (sharing Windows PC internet via USB cable) checkbox, which I checked then it asked me to choose my Windows version (which is Windows 8.1 but since it didn't show that option) I chose Windows 8. It gives me further instructions as showing in the following picture:
Here is the problem, there is no sharing tab (see the following screen shot)
How to get a sharing tab in connection properties?
Questioner
I have an ADSL connection, connected to my PC via ethernet(NIC 1), and a wireless connection(NIC 2). I want to share my internet connection over a wireless network.
The problem I have, is that I do not have a sharing tab in the properties on my Local Area Connection. I only have a sharing tab on my wireless connection, which is useless as that is not the internet connection.
This is a fresh install of Vista, and everything else is working fine. Latest drivers etc. Before installing, I did have a sharing tab. I can not find any option to enable it.
How can I get it back?

Do you have any other network interfaces defined? If the interfaces have been bridged or shared that tab might disappear.
Also, make sure the ICS service is running on your machine, if it's stopped the tab might disappear.
More information could help in figuring out what's wrong.
Click Start -> Run... and type cmd
In the command-prompt type ipconfig /all and post the output of that command. It might indicate what's wrong.
