ICS with RedHat behind W2K

have RH9 that i want to connect to the net behind windows 2K machine.
Enabled ICS on the external NIC on my W2k machine but don't know what
settings to change on my linux box.

Went to network configuration. Selected the adapter and clicked on edit.
Selected 'automatically obtain IP address with dhcp'
What do i put under dhcp hostname (optional)?
Do I selected 'automatically obtain DNS information from provider'?

Basically my setup doesn't work. I've shutdown ZA on my W2K box so it's not
like my firewall is blocking my linux box. What settings worked for people
who tried similar setup?

Win2K doesn't use DHCP server. Typyically, Microsoft users the 192.168.0.1
has the computer sharing the intenet connection. So you will need to set
up Linux to use 192.168.0.1 as its gateway, and assign it an IP in the
192.168.0.x range, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255.

I remember sometime ago i had a rh9 behind a winxp ICS, get the linux box to
obtain everything from the "internet computer", if dhcp is not working try
bootp.
