Yes when you enable sharing you'll get warning messages, and it will set the
other network adapter to 192.168.0.1 and a mask of 255.255.255.0, note that
if you look at the network properties for the adapter that it will appear to
not be fully configured, only the IP address and Subnet Mask are listed. No
Default Gateway or DNS are listed, and adding these values will break ICS.
ICS should work as long as LAN1 is not using 192.168.0.xxx space (IP
address) This page may help;

It's old in that it was written for Windows XP but the principles remain the
same.
