Dazed
I have a two-PC home network, with an XP Home (SP2) host connected to
the internet via a cable modem and a Windows ME client (two NIC cards
on the host, no hub). Recently re-installed ME on the client, and went
through the XP Network Wizard process to re-establish Internet
Connection Sharing.
The client machine is not yet able to fully connect to the internet;
all ideas are welcome.
Status:
1) All host PC apps (OE, IE6, AIM, etc.) can access the internet
properly;
2) File sharing works properly both ways; ie from either computer I
can view the contents of the other's hard drives;
3) The only client application that can access the internet is Winamp
(example http://64.236.34.67:80). All others - IE, OE, AVG
(anti-virus), Spybot, for example - can not connect. I can use the IE
address bar to navigate to and view the host hard drives but nothing on
the web.
4) The client machine does have an "Internet Gateway" icon in the
taskbar, suggesting that the right network applications exist.
Troubleshooting steps taken to date:
1) Re-ran the XP Network Wizard completely, including re-creating the
network disk.
2) Followed the XP home networking troubleshooter all the way through.
(Whew.) No hardware conflicts, pinged in zero time, IP addresses OK.
3) Disabled the XP firewall on both connections. At the moment, the
Internet connection firewall has been re-established, but remains
disabled on the LAN connection.
4) Followed the troubleshooting steps from here:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group...b/browse_thread/thread/f86b0444aefb3bf9?hl=en
which did lead to successful ICS implementation three years ago.
I don't think I'm too far from regaining internet connectivity from the
client. All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks -
