Daniel, Sounds like you're probably confusing your network....
If you want to use Win 2k Internet Connection Sharing, they will have to use dynamically allocated IP addresses assigned by the machine that is connected to the network. Have you tried skipping the added complication of the Active directory and set up your PCs as stand alone machines and connect to the shared internet connection directly? The minute that you start using DNS servers inside your network you are going to confuse the ICS as PCs sharing the connection must use the DNS settings provided by your ISP and the ICS "server".
