       I agree with Marc. I don't think you will get this working with ICS.

        The problem is that the dialup connection is not recognised as an input
    to the address translation to enable Internet access. (Only the private NIC
    is an input to the address translation.) So the dialup connection cannot
    route throught the Internet, because it only has a private IP.

        With RRAS/NAT, you can fix this with the netsh command described in
    KB31088 . This makes the dialup private interface an input to the address
    translation process. You can't use this with ICS. It will probably just tell
    you NAT can't be found.
