I don't think you can do what you want and I don't think you really want to.
Consider the following situation:
Computer A has ICS running and sharing it's modem connection with Computer
B. User buys a wireless router to connect computer B to get rid of the
cables. Your program would then disable ICS and Computer B would no longer
be able to access the internet. The correct approach in that situation would
be to disable DHCP on the router and there lies your problem.
There is fundamentally no difference between a DHCP server from ICS or the
DHCP server from the router and detecting which is the "right" one is not
possible. Your user either needs to learn a bit of networking basics or get
someone who knows what they are doing to set things up for them. Not all
problems can be solved programatically I'm afraid...
