I was getting the 'Sandbox failed to start / Internet Connection Sharing' error. Here is how I fixed it.
Windows + X
Network Connections
Sharing Options
Turn on network discovery (for me this was under Domain)
Update: restarting ICS as admin did not work for me today. I was running sandbox yesterday fine. It was still working this morning for a few hours. Then suddenly the sandbox reported it has no internet.
On my main Windows install (outside of sandbox), the ICS service inexplicably has changed to "Disabled". Very odd. I started the service, killed sandbox and relaunched sandbox.
Still no network. The network troubleshooter (in sandbox) claims it's because the Diagnostic Policy Service is not running. Trying to start it gives the result "The Diagnostic Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs." Also very odd.
I'm certain a reboot will get it working again. But this is ridiculous, having to reboot every couple days to use sandbox?
