Problem with Internet Connection Sharing

I'm trying to set up a shared connection between computers
running '98 and XP (the former is the host), but neither
OS'll run the setup program from the other.

Am I missing something stupidly obvious?

Set up '98 as an ICS host as shown here:

Set up XP as an ICS client as shown here:

I too am having problems with internet connection sharing.
Configuration is a Win98SE machine connected to the internet via a dialup
modem; internet connection sharing setup (machine 1).

A non windows machine (machine 2) that can access the internet via the
connection on machine 1. accessing a web site if machine 1 is not connected
to the ISP triggers a dialout.

A Win98SE machine (machine 3) that cannot access the internet via machine 1.
The error is "Internet Explorer could not open the search page", no dialout
is triggered if machine 1 is not on line.

I have configured machine 3 to connect via a LAN (I think), but have
obviously got something wrong, I have tried the help but that just confuses
me more.

Can anyone suggest what I have done wrong (or not done!) or give a step by
step setup walkthrough.

File and printer sharing works between all 3 computers in all directions.
