Matt ICS should not be that hard to setup. On the computer with the Internet Connection, you want to click on it's connection to the Internet and share it. That seems wrong to me. But if you are using a dialup connection right click on the modem icon and choose to share it. This will set up your other LAN connection with an IP of 192.168.0.1 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. These should be the only things listed on the TCP/IP properties for it. On the "client" computer, (I set them up by hand) be sure that the TCP/IP properties are set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" That should be all you need to do. If ICS is working correctly everything else will get filled in. All other settings, (DNS, DHCP, Gateway,) will be filled in with an address of 192.168.0.1 ICS will only work with an address of 192.168.0.1, for the non internet connected network adapter (the 2nd NIC), on the ICS computer. All computers connected to the ICS computer will have an address of 192.168.0.XXX and a sub net mask of 255.255.255.0. Trying to change these values will break ICS. The gateway, DNS 1 and 2, and DHCP servers will be set to 192.168.0.1 for computers connected to the ICS computer.
