ICS client problem

We have a dedicated PC with Win XP Pro SP2 that we have setup with our
internet connection. I have enabled ICS by using the network setup wizard on
both the host and clients.

However, the clients can't see the ICS connection under the network
connections folder - we have to go to the host PC and dial up the connection
manually.

Any Suggestions?

Doug,

In the Properties wizard for the network connection that provides the Internet
service on the host, you should have an Advanced tab, with an Internet
Connection Sharing section. There should be selections "Allow other network
users", and "Establish a connection". Are those selected?
