I purchased a new HP DX2300 a week ago. I have spent countless hours (Days)
trying to setup ICS with no real success.
In my desperation I performed a restore on the Vista PC wiping out all
installs and configuration I did in the past week.
I installed all Windows Vista updates but NO other software of any kind. I
enabled ISC on the NIC that connects to the internet. All other
configuration was however Windows set it up in the install.
I rebooted the Vista PC and when it came up it could surf the internet. I
booted up another PC on my LAN (XP Pro) and It could surf the internet and
the LAN. The Vista PC could only see itself on the LAN and surf the internet.
I made NO changes and after 15 minutes (or so) things changed. At this
point, the Vista PC can view the LAN and the internet, the other PC can view
the LAN but not the internet.
I changed both Network Connections from Public to Private and turned off the
Vista Firewall. No change.
I rebooted the Vista PC. When it came up both PC’s could surf the internet
and the LAN. I booted another PC on my LAN. Now all 3 could surf the
internet and see each other on the LAN.
I waited 20 minutes and there were no changes. At this point it was getting
late and I need to go home. I shut down both PC’s on the LAN but rebooted
one of them. When it came up, it could not get to the internet but could see
the LAN. I checked the Vista PC and it also could not surf the internet.
The Vista PC was not rebooted nor had any configuration been changed. The
only change was the 1 PC on the LAN was rebooted and now neither PC can get
to the internet.
Someone PLEASE HELP! My new Vista PC is a pretty paper weight but I would
like to use it!
