Installing ICS - Installing ICS on Windows 98SE/ME 
Now that your ICS computer can talk to the internet AND your home network, it is time to install ICS.  From the start menu, select control panels. Double click add/remove programs, click the ‘Windows Setup’ tab, double click 'Internet Tools', and check the ‘Internet Connection Sharing’ box. (Windows may ask you for your setup disks).
Your system may reboot, but eventually you will see the Home Networking Wizard. It looks like this. 
The first screen will ask you about your internet connetion. If you have a cable or dsl modem, select “A direct connection…” and select the network adapter that your cable modem or dsl modem is attached to.
The next screen allows you to select your Home Network connection. You do not have to create a Home Networking setup disk, this tutorial will show you how to configure your other computers. You are now finished installing ICS on your Windows 98/SE computer.
After rebooting, we need to secure your computer from the rest of the world.
SECURING YOUR ICS COMPUTER
Microsoft File Sharing should never be ‘bound’ to any protocol that talks directly to the internet. In the current state of your system, Microsoft network could be exposing your computer to hackers on the intrnet. It is very important that you follow the next steps.
In your network properties, select “TCP/IP (Shared) -> …” and click properties. Next select the Bindings tab and de-select ‘File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks’. This will keep hackers from ‘mounting’ the shares on this computer.
Configure your other computers
Next, we need to configure your other computers on your home network. We will refer to these as ICS clients even though they do not have ICS installed on them.

Re: As soon as I put in ICS I loose all Internet connection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Guys it like this obviously... You have to remember you are using a Router like say: Netgear,Dlink,witch uses the same IP address for it's own LAN IP address 192.168.0.1 you would need to changed the routers IP address to something like 192.168.1.1 so you would not have a LAN IP address conflict with the Router.
After you have rea$$igned your Routers IP address then you can set up your ICS to use the 192.168.0.1 and up to 192.168.0.255 for your other LAN network computers.
Good luck
