Not exactly to the script.

The ICS Host has several things required, including additions to its Workgroup name, HOSTS file, and DNS advanced features. Similar steps need to be taken at the client level:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q309642

Some things from your configuration settings standout:

. MSHOME needs to be the workgroup name
. The subnet mask for all items should be 255.255.255.0 and not anything else.
. the Gateway for the client should be 192.168.0.1
. There is no Gateway for the ICS HOST, or use 127.0.0.1
. The IP of the ICS Host must be 192.168.0.1
