I can not get my client computer to recieve a web page
via my dial-up IP utilizing ICS. Host can works fine.
Both computer can ping each other. Client computer even
shows an "Internet Gateway Status" with the Internet-
Internet Gateway-My Computer. It shows sent and recieved
Packets. Yet it won't load a web page.

Current config:

Linksys: LAN IP Address: 192.168.1.1, Subnet
225.225.225.0

Host TCIP Setting: Obtain an IP automatically & Obtain
an DNS server address automatically

Client TCIP Setting: Obtain an IP automatically & Obtain
an DNS server address automatically

What next?

It looks to me like you've connected the two computers to a Linksys
router. If so, the client computer must get its TCP/IP configuration
and Internet access from the ICS host, not from the router:

1. Make sure that ICS is enabled on the host computer's dial-up
connection. Don't change any settings in the host computer's local
area network connection.

2. Disconnect the host computer from the router.

3. Reboot the client computer so that it gets its TCP/IP configuration
from the router.

4. Connect to the router's built-in web server at http://192.168.1.1

5. Disable the router's built-in DHCP server.

6. Disable the router's Internet Gateway (UPnP) feature.

7. Change the router's IP address to an address in the same subnet as
the ICS host, e.g. 192.168.0.254.

8. Connect the host computer to one of the router's LAN ports, not to
its WAN (Internet) port.

9. Reboot the client so that it gets its TCP/IP configuration from the
host computer.
