I need help getting my network set up. I've had it up and running for
years, but had to reformat one of my computers and now everything is
screwy.

Here's what I am seeing:

Network consists of 3 computers linked using phoneline networking. One
computer is connected to the outside and shares internet with the
other two. All three computers are running windows XP and used the XP
network setup wizard.

All 3 computers can see each other and browse each other. The problem
is not with the network per se, but with the internet sharing.

The host computer can access all internet sites and has no problems.

Both clients are experiencing identical problems. They cannot connect
to most websites, including yahoo, google, msn, dilbert, neopets,
matazone, theonion, etc. They can connect to a very few websites.
I've found 3 that work so far: papajohns.com, zoomerang.com, and
deploy.ztelligence.com. These sites work on both clients.

Clients can ping most of the above websites by IP address or by name
(www.yahoo.com) and get a timely response.

Clients can connect to AIM (Aol instant messenger) and to ICQ,
although the ICQ connection gets dropped every two minutes and then
reconnects. Neither one can connect to MSN messenger or Yahoo
messenger.

Clients can connect to IRC and USenet servers but get disconnected
after about 2 minutes.

Clients cannot access email (3 different pop servers all fail).

I've tried this with windows XP ICS and with a 3rd party networking
manager (Sygate). I get the same behavior with both. I've also turned
off the host's firewall for these tests, so that's not the problem.

I can't think of anything else to try and I would appreciate any
suggestions or any ideas about what's going on.

Thanks very much,

Hello,

Try to add the DNS from you ISP in the other machines , this is maybe a
solution or
if you use a proxyserver you have to disable AUTOMATIC DETECT SETTINGS and
add the proxy server on all the machines.

But I think that the fault in your case is the DNS.

I hope it work.

Best Regards,
Didier.
