Yes I'm using ICS. It's a very simple net, 2 network cards and 1 cable.
I dont want put a router.
Mcafee firewall is configured to allow traffic on network card of ip address
of the other pc (192.168.0.2).
In firewall log I dont see nothing special. But in some way firewall blocks
internet access of the 2nd pc. It is not a complete block because I can ping
the ip addresses of web site:
ping 66.102.9.99 -->OK
ping www.google.com --> NO!
Seems it blocks DNS, I dont know...
