ICS not showing but works

I'm running xp on 4 pc's all networked together, On one pc after a network crash I lost ICS icon and can not see it in network conn's it was there before and it's there on the other two pc's. I've done a reload over the top, A full Reload is not an option......

 

I have 4 machines networked at home, 2-XP Pro, 1-2K & 1-98?, I have no icons for connection anywhere - they all have Internet thru the main machine which has the cable modem (using ICS). The less Icons I see, especially when it works, the better. Why do you have to have an Icon??

if you go to Network Connections and then to properties you can had an icon in tast bar when connected. on my pc i should had a high speed connection to adsl but it's not there but it works.....
