Sounds like a group policy may be in place to keep you from seeing the option or it may not be turned on. Use the steps below to install the service:

Setting Up Internet Connection Sharing
You will need to designate a Windows XP computer as the host. This computer must have two network adapters, one for your internal network and one for the Internet connection. Before attempting to enable ICS, verify that the host computer has a working connection to the Internet through the network card connected to the cable modem or DSL line, or on the network connection associated with the modem. The easiest way to enable ICS is to use the Network Setup Wizard, by following these steps:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, and then click Network Setup Wizard.

2. Click Next until you see the Select a connection method screen.

3. Click This computer connects directly to the Internet, and complete the wizard to install ICS.
