Without any details of how you've set up the network, it's hard to say
what's wrong. Make sure that a firewall on the host computer isn't
blocking access from the client.

If that doesn't solve the problem, I've written some web pages that
should help:

XP ICS - Client Setup Using the Network Setup Wizard

The host's LAN connection should have IP address 192.168.0.1 The
client's LAN connection should get an IP address in the range
192.168.0.2-192.168.0.254 from the IP host.
