First off, welcome to PC Mech. Think we need some more info. What OS's are you running on these computers and how do you connect to the internet (dial up, dsl, cable)? What hardware are you using?

A suggestion - instead of using ICS, get a router. A lot less hassles and they are dirt cheap.

No worse than being behind ICS.
