Interestingly, the PCs IP address was already 192.168.0.1 - whoever set the network up four years ago picked the private 192.168.0.x subnet for it.
And of course, ICS doesn't like that. So it got changed to .13
Client machines have had to be allowed to keep their static IPs - 192.168.0.2 to .10 (with a gap or two) - as if they were allowed to be assigned one, they were given 193.x.x.x and the local network wouldn't work. (Changing them to another address range would be a pain as there is no easy way to change the IP address of the network's printer.)
Why the ICS wizard thinks the Dial-up Networking is a network and not a DUN, ghod only knows unless it's related to the IP address issue, but that's what it's been doing all day.
