Did you run the ICS Wizard on the client PC? If so, uninstall ICS; it should
not be running on a client computer.

On the host computer, you have to positively identify which Ethernet adapter
is connected to the client computer, and which is connected to the Internet
access device. Do you have HSI, or dial up access?

If dial up, the dial up modem should be configured for shared access. If
HSI, the Ethernet adapter connecting to the HSI modem should be configured
for shared access. You need to be sure that the shared access is on the
Internet connection, not the local connection.
