Difference between ICS and NAT
To connect a windows 2000/2003 network to the Internet, you may use one of
two methods: ICS and NAT. Both ICS and NAT provide translation, addressing,
and name resolution services to the network hosts.

ICS is designed to provide a single step of configuration (a single check
box) on the computer running Windows 2000/2003 to provide a translated
connection to Internet for all of the hosts on the network. However, once
enabled, Internet connection sharing does not allow further configuration
beyond the configuration of applications and services on the network.

NAT routing protocol is designed to provide maximum flexibility in the
configuration of the computer running Windows 2000 Server to provide a
translated connection to Internet. NAT requires more configuration steps;
however, each step of the configuration is customizable. The NAT protocol
allows for ranges of IP addresses from ISP and the configuration of the
range of IP addresses allocated to the network hosts.
