ICS Stuff

What I have, as far as this scenario is concerned, is two
WinXP Home computers. One has a DSL Internet connection,
which it shares over a wireless network connection with
the other. Outbound traffic is no problem, but there are
cases in which I can't get inbound traffic to the second
computer because it doesn't have an IP address of its own
(outside of the LAN). Is there a way that I can set up
the ICS host to automatically forward incoming traffic on
a specific port on to the second computer?
Thanks.

Yes you can do this, the following article gives an example using PPTP:
