ICS problem after reset

Guest

Sorry if I am repeating previous questions here, but from browsing through
this group I have not found any definite answer.
I have two computers on a home network with a crossover cable. The host
computer is connected to the internet through an ASDL modem and is running XP
Pro SP2. The client is running 2000 Pro SP4.
Following Microsoft's instructions I have successfully set up ICS so that
the client can access the internet, but after resetting (switching off) the
computers the client computer can no longer access the internet. Both
computers can still see each other on the network and TCP/IP settings are as
they were when ICS was set up.
What do I do to keep the internet connection?

Sure, here are the IP details while ICS is working:

And after re-starting both computers:

The one obvious difference I'm seeing here is that IP Routing is disabled
after re-starting the host PC. Any idea why that would be?

Thanks for looking at this for me.
