192.168.0.1 is the only host IP address that ICS supports. I've
written a web page that should help you get everything working:

Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics

I recommend using dynamic IP addresses on the other computers. If you
use static IP addresses, make all of these settings:

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