Joost,
If the ICS client is getting a 169.254.x.x address, forcing it to a 192.168.x.x
address won't help. Either:
# ICS is not running on the host.
# The client is not connecting to the host.
You have to solve the problem. First check for physical connectivity.

Next, is the WF / ICS service running on the ICS host? If you're going to use
Zone Alarm for protection, you can disable the firewall - using either wizard -
but don't stop the WF / ICS service.
