Ken, I think the simplest answer is to let the machine that's sharing it's internet connection be a DHCP server, but then ignore it. i.e. Run the wizard on the gateway machine. Then just set up all the others to static addresses in the 192.168.0.x range. Make a hosts file and copy it to all machines and you are in business. Works for me!
