I'm running ICS on XP SP2. Everything seems to be working except DNS on the

Default Server: [192.168.0.1}

I've verfied that DNS works on the box running ICS and if I manually change
the DNS to use an outside server on the client everything works. I even
tried installing a third party DNS server on the box and it said that DNS was
already running on port 53. For testing I disabled the firewall and that
didn't solve the problem either.

Disable and then enable ICS on box running ICS. Then disable and
enable the client's LAN connection.

If that doesn't get DNS working via 192.168.0.1 on the client,
manually configure the client to use your ISP's DNS server.
