I had exactly the same problem after re-installing new software for my internet connection
(Satellite DirecWay) which was to be shared by my SOHO network.
The solution was to enable ALL 3 of these services BEFORE attempting to click the
ICS checkbox:
1) Internet Connection Sharing Service
2) DHCP server
3) DHCP client
It is not clear that these services must be running to actually use ICS, because
they weren't running before I had to re-install. However, when they weren't running,
I got the same message as described by 'Dee' whenever I tried to click the 'share
ics' checkbox. My LAN connection (not the ICS connection) was in perfect working
order despite the text of the error.
Hope it helps.
