That's for the dialup (DHCP) connection to connect to the ISP. If you
are using static addressing on your LAN (as opposed to automatic by
DHCP) then you need to enable dns on the ics client and tell it about
the nameservers. You might get away with using the ICS host for the
nameserver address but since your connection is not working, using the
isps nameservers directly is something you might try.

If you are not sure what is going on, your best bet is to start again
as suggested by Chuck and follow the step by step instructions he has
posted. That automatic configuration option is better than the static
one you are currently trying to use.
