I don't know how you expected it to work. ICS _requires_ your internet connected machine to be a DHCP server, and all machines connecting to it to use DHCP.

You can download a proxy instead if all you want is shared HTTP (and perhaps a few other protocols) access. Have a look at the AnalogX one. Its quite good, and very simple once you read the documentation.

No, it doesn't need DHCP.

Just to backup up hostyle. All PC's need to be set to obtain an ip address automatically and the pc with the isdn connection needs to act as a dhcp server. When you enable ICS in Win2k or XP it sets it up for you. All you need to do is ensure that the client pc's are set to the above.

Incidently, i've used Proxy from the Analog X website and it is quite good.
