192.168.0.1 is the address of the Host machine in an ICS setup. Check
on that one; in its Net connections, r-click the connection to the
Internet, Properties and make sure that the Advanced page has the 'allow
other users to connect to the internet' box checked

Then highlight the connection to the other machines and make sure it
*is* using 192.168.0.1 - if not right click - Properties, highlight
TCPIP and Properties, and tell it to 'Use the following IP address',
filling that in. Also click Advanced and on the WINS page make sure it
has selected 'Enable NETBIOS over TCPIP'
