Hello there,
Have you configured first the two NICs with drakconnect ?
If you don't do that first, ICS will not work for you.
Then run ICS, and do, as root, a
grep -v ^# /etc/shorewall/{zones,interfaces,policy,masq,rules}

any error logs in /var/log/messages (or syslog) ?

of course, if you turn it off, it will remove the masquerading.
