Makes sense I thought that was probably what was happenning
I have no desire to run a dns server on my network - but I would prefer to use AD to simplify user managment etc, and I undersatnd I have to have DNS server runing to do it... Are you saying that there is no way that ICS and AD will cohabit successfully? My ISP provides DNS addresses that I can use instead of the dynamically assigned ones - I was wondering if I could use those in the DNS server? All I want is to have internet access for all the machines on my network (4...) and active directory to control access...

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".
