Other things to watch (from dusty memories):-
With XP, Microsoft ICS needs to actually be installed - "enabling" is
insufficient with XP - I have no experience at using ICS with later
versions of Windoof (YMWV).
*If you are using the free version of ZoneAlarm ICS is not supported*
Note: XP ICS includes a DHCP server.
