internet connection sharing on a peer to

I have two computers both running win98se and have networked them peer to peer. The host computer connects to the internet and stalls after connection. It works fine when internet connection sharing is not enabled. When it’s installed, the host willnot allow the other machine to access the internet and the host stalls after connecting. The host computer is a PIII 500mhz, 128megs memory. The client computer is a P200mhz MMX with 64megs. All settings are same as another network at home. I’ve done all the troubleshooters to no avail, including the In. Con. sharing disk. Thanks for any and all help.
