ICS problem

I have 2 computers running win xp pro connected by wireless adapters in ad hoc mode.
one of the computers is connected to the internet with VPN.
I have configured this computer as host and actived the ICS (with all the regular configuration, static ip 192.168.0.1 etc..)
I have configured the other computer as client, and configurated it as well
the computers are connected (I can see the shared folders) and I can ping both computers to each other BUT the internet does not work from the client computer.
what can be the problem?
thanks

have you tried bridging the connections on the PC that is sharing Inet?

 

if I remember correctly you cant share an internet connection with an adhoc wireless network. It needs to be an infrastructure network.
