Question about 'Share an Internet Connection'

I have a question about Share an Internet Connection:

Alright, here's my question. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I have ICS working fine in this senario. I have a Win98SE machine as the host. My client machine is a Win2K Pro machine. Don't ask why, let's just call it an experiment. Anywho, My only issue with it is this, my Win98SE machine does not autodial when my Win2K machine requests data outside of the network. Is this how it's supposed to be, or does my 98 machine have a setting to enable/disable this. Just to eliminate some of the have you tried this's, I have set the connex do dial automatically via IE. I have changed the 'Prompt for Information' setting in DUN. It just doesn't even try. Anybody?

Win98 ICS is partly controlled by options set in the "Internet Options" control panel widget, "connection" tab (also accessible from MSIE). "Always dial my default connection" has to be set or it never does (and on client machines that have their own modems, you need to select some other option). The inactivity timeout here also usually works.
