I don't know what caused the problem, John, but here are some possible
fixes. If one doesn't solve the problem, try the next one:

1. Un-install and re-install the network card on the client.

2. Download and install the latest network card driver on the client.

3. Disable and re-enable ICS on the host.

4. Configure TCP/IP manually on the client:

   IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
   Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
   DNS Server = your ISP's DNS server
