Internet Connection Sharing, two onboard LAN chipsets.

I have a K8N Neo4 Platinum with two onboard LAN chipsets.
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum&class=mb
Above is the link to my mainboard's manufacturer information.

I am trying to use one LAN port for my Internet connection, while using
the other port to share that connection with another computer. However,
whenever I enable my second LAN port in "Network Connections" and enable
ICS, my connection goes out on my computer and my other computer still
does not receive a connection.

Please respond with more information on ICS, and how I can go about the
procedure I have laid out, if I need to bridge the connections, any
other information deemed relevant.

What subnet is the LAN port connected to? If not 192.168.0/24, you're OK.

If not 192.168.0/24, then run the Network Setup Wizard twice.

First, run the wizard on the main computer. Select:
This computer connects directly to the Internet. The other computers on my
network connect to the Internet through this computer.
Identify the second LAN port as the one used to share the connection.

Then, run the wizard on the second computer. Select:
This computer connects to the Internet through another computer on my network or
through a residential gateway.

But, if the main LAN is 192.168.0/24, you have a problem.
 
I don't understand the subnet 192.168.0/24, also it says "If not
192.168.0/24" twice with two different options, does this mean if it is
not 192.168.0/24 then it is ok and to run the network setup wizard? How
do I know if my subnet is that? I know my computers internal IP address
is 192.168.0.1, and it is hooked up through my DLink DI604 router. It
seems this is a problem? Also, I realize that I wasn't using cross-over
cabling. I will go pick some up soon. Thank you for the links, I will be
reviewing them more later.

Are you saying that the internal address connected to the DLink is 192.168.0.1?
That will be a problem, yes. If you use ICS, the address of the LAN port that
you plug the crossover cable into will have to be 192.168.0.1 - this is not an
option that you can change.

Why do you need to use ICS, if you have a NAT router?
 
Well it isn't that I need to, I was just curious about it. I would like
to be able to do this for my friend (using my computer when I travel to
his house). He doesn't have a router. Perhaps I should wait to try it
there and see how things turn out.

Well, ICS was designed originally to share dialup service. It will work with
broadband, but it works best when the incoming service does NOT come thru subnet
192.168.0/24. That's because the LAN created by ICS is 192.168.0/24. So yeah,
try it at your friend's house.
