Take a look at this Microsoft ICS (Internet Connection Sharing tutorial.
problem with internet sharing on 2 computers
I have one computer connected directly to the internet through a pci-e ethernet controller. My second computer is connected to this computer by the second controller, both built into the motherboard. I am running XP with SP2 and
am able to set up a network places connection but not able to let the second computer share the internet connection. When I try I get error 765: a LAN connection is already configured with the IP address that is required for automatic IP addressing. I get a message saying 192.168.0.1 is required for internet sharing address so I have set all connections to other addresses. I have APIPA set to off. Despite this I keep getting this error 765 message. Can anyone help please?

Actually, ICS does include a DHCP server, and it works just fine. I've used it a number of times in different environments.
There's no reason to turn off APIPA, and I don't even know what it might do to the DHCP functionality, I've never turned it off.
