"How to use Internet Connection Sharing" (from Q306126)
"To use Internet Connection Sharing to share your Internet connection, the
host computer must have one network adapter that is configured to connect to
the internal network, and one network adapter or modem that is configured to
connect to the Internet."

And you should only install ICS on the host computer.
