Things you should know about ICS

1. When you enable Internet Connection Sharing, IP address of the Interne
NIC in the ICS server is always 192.168.0.1. All clients will be assigned
other IP addresses in the 192.168.0.x range.
2. You should not enable ICS on the computer as a domain controller, DHCP
server, or DNS server.
3. To enable ICS, you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators
4. You may experience some problems if you use NetMeeting and VPN in your
ICS network.
5. You should have two NICs.

Following could be relevant to your case -

1. You should have two network cards on your XP PC - one attached to PS2
(use crossover cable if connecting directly to the PC), one to the internet.
2. You should be logged on as administrator
3. There should be no local/domain policy that prohibits the machine from
enabling ICS

Reply back with more detials of any error message or such you see if the
above doesnt help.
