The problem is probably that the wireless router's LAN interface uses
the same 192.168.0.x subnet that ICS uses. In that case, the solution
is to change the router's LAN subnet to, for example, 192.168.1.x.
Disable ICS, connect to the router's built-in web server (which is
probably at http://192.168.0.1), and make the change. Then reboot the
router and enable ICS.
