Bitt, yes, as soon as you set up ICS the PC becomes a DHCP server.

The link you provided would have been the ideal solution, (thank you) only that registry key referenced in the article doesn't exist in my registry. I hate Windows, unfortunately I am tied to it for this as I have to run a windows-only program to interface with my ISP.

It looks as though it is going to be easier to leave things as they are and just put up with searching for the NASs each time.
