[Lvlug] Windows ICS woes

I've done this before but for whatever reason I can't seem to get this 
up and running again...

I'm on dial-up at home, so I run the internet connection sharing wizard 
(tried manually too, both create the same settings and the wizard worked 
fine last time), tell it my dial-up is default and to forward it through 
the ethernet.  That all works, etc.  So my setup here is PC -> router -> 
lotsofothermachines.  Now before the way I did this was put the server 
ethernet into the router internet port, then the router was able to 
pickup the IP and gateway dynamically, as well as the DNS.  I think I 
had it set manually last time, but either isn't working here. 

The kick is that I can tell the router to dynamically grab an IP and it 
does, it grabs the gateway and DNS as well.  But, when I connect a 
computer to the router, it can't seem to pickup any domains.  I do a cat 
/etc/resolv.conf and I get 192.168.0.1 (which is the gateway on my 
server), then I do a route -n and I get the correct gateway (192.168.0.1 
again), so then I try and put in the DNS servers that the server is 
using and still no go.  I've tried various combinations of static 
addresses, still get the same grief.  Any ideas?
