I see what you mean about pinging. But, just for testing, did you alter that
reg entry to just see if it works? You can always *EASILY* change it back to
the original setting, just export that key, then save it as a .reg file. If
it doesn't work, then double click on that file and it will put it back in,
or just change it manually.

Ok... if you already tried it...

Trying to narrow this sucker down. Ok, let's try another tactic... are there
any services turned off on PC2?

Services such as:
DHCP Client Service
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service
Workstation Service
DNS Client service

On PC1:
Is File and Print sharing enabled?
Is there a personal firewall installed?

Has this machine ever been infected, such as with the QHOSTS virus?

Just trying to look at all possibilities at this point. Maybe you can force
an IP to:
IP 192.168.0.100
mask 255.255.255.0
gate 192.168.0.1
DNS 4.2.2.2

Then try it again.
Then switch it back to DHCP.

Do you have another machine, such as a laptop, then you can try and put up
on your network as well and see if that experiences the same thing? I'm
trying to narrow down if it's the workstation or your machine set for ICS.
Maybe even switch them around and try it?
