I need to give several computers access to an Internet connection through my
laptop tomorrow evening. Is the Internet Connection Sharing built into
Vista Home Basic sufficient enough to do this, or would you recommend a good
DHCP client? As far as I could find, the only Microsoft DHCP clients are
built into Windows Server.

What would be the best (and free?) way to go about this?

Thanks!

The ICS built into Vista is good enough to do that. It does use a built in
DHCP server that works just fine.

I'm looking for good DHCP Server too. I used some free DHCPservers but
there is no option for adding a "60 PXEClient Tag String" to DHCP
packets. I want to run 3com PXE server and DHCP from Vista x64 laptop...
