Small point but ICS *IS* NAT

ICS = Internet Connection Sharing

NAT = Network Address Translation

ICS is just Microsoft's implementation of NAT, Winroute/sygate etc.. are
all capable of running NAT as well.

The benefits of running other NAT software over ICS is they generally
allow much greater configuration.
