Sharing internet connecton without switch

I've got two computers and I want to share the Internet connection for them.

Look at the picture:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/kahaf/sharing.PNG

Computer1 has two NIC's, one labelled WAN (connected to modem) and other called LAN (connected to another computer, cross-over cable)

Computer1 WAN connection uses DHCP.

What are the manual network settings for the Computer1 LAN and for the Computer2?


Computer1 has a working Internet acces but the other computer just won't go to Internet.

Yes, I know the disadvantages on ICS.

But what are the manual network settings for the Computer1 LAN interface and for the Computer2?

(Computer1 WAN:
DHCP)

Computer1 LAN
IP:
SUBNET MASK:
GATEWAY:
DNS:


Computer2
IP:
SUBNET MASK:
GATEWAY:
DNS:

Using dhcp on LAN connections and then bridging the two interfaces on computer1 didn't work.

It worked out with these settings:

When wan interface was shared the windows set LAN interface on static ip.
Then using DHCP on computer2 I managed to gain Internet-acces on both machines.
