Not sure what ICS stand for. I assume some kind of NAT using WINDOZE.

This is windows configuration issue. And possibly switch configuration.
I have a feel that if you run samba in Linux and make it accessible from
Windows, problem will be gone since stupid MS box realize there is a
Linux box out there.
Better thing to do is learn IP masquerading on Linux and use Linux as
gateway. Linux is better OS for gateway and IPMASQ/firewall. Let windows
machine sits behind Linux safely and enjoy Game :)
