Let me start by saying that I would never use ICS an any business environment. It is far to great a security risk. You would be better off with a $30 broadband router than ICS. Additionally, the router does a much better job of sharing your internet connection automatically. You will not have any of the flaky problems associated with ICS. If this is a home network... Youi are still better off with a $30 broadband router.

What service pack are you up to on this server? If you do dnot have Service Pack 4 installed get it. It will likely solve your ICS problem. If you are not sure what service pack you are up to do this... Right Click on My Computer and select Properties. Under system it should say what service pack you are up to.

Alternatively you can use SQUID on any Linux server its a lot more secure than a Windows environment for internet proxy. We used it for 3 years and did not even shut it down once! Of course we now have switches and routers.

Best regards,
