Internet Connection Sharing enabled, still no access to the internet

Hello,

I have a strange problem with Internet Connection Sharing. I have one
computer ("HOST") with two network adapters. One adapter is connected to
the Internet and has a static public IP. The second adapter is connected
to my second computer using a crossed cable. This second adapter has IP
192.168.0.1 (subnet 255.255.255.0) assigned; my second computer's
("SLAVE") adapter has IP 192.168.0.2 (subnet 255.255.255.0) assigned,
the Default Gateway is set to 192.168.0.1 and Primary DNS to
192.168.0.1. Both my computers are part of the same WORKGROUP. On my
HOST computer i enabled Internet connection sharing for my Internet
adapter. My HOST computer has no problem accessing the Internet.

The problem is that i cannot connect to the Internet from my SLAVE
computer. I can ping the HOST computer (192.168.0.1), i can ping my
Internet IP (my HOST computer second adapter) and nothing more. If i try
to ping a host i get "could not resolve host name". If i try to ping an
IP i get a "Request time out". I DO NOT have any firewalls or additional
security applications.
The strange part is that i can do a tracert to any domain / IP i like,
but no ping or connection can be made. I'm not sure if tracert should
fail in my case or if it has anything to do with my connection problem.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Stefan
