There's no need to run the client disk. The default network settings
should work fine on an ICS client. Try it.

Steve Winograd's Networking FAQ

i've traced the problem to the client networking. The host
can access teh client's hd, but the client can't detect
the host pc's. i've also removed/uninstal all adapters,
tcp/ip's, clients for ms network, file&printer sharing, &
reinstalling them.
i use ethernet switch & ethernet modem. Since setting up
the switch, the host pc's (& client's), switch's &
modem's LEDs all blink - pause only for a few seconds &
blink again. The host's desktop connection status
indicates bytes sent out continuously. Is this a faulty
setup?
