Browsing the internet

[Eric]

I can only go to 2 or 3 sites on the Internet. I have 2
computers connected with a crossover cable, sharing a
dial up connection. I have downloaded a new driver for
my NIC, reinstalled Windows, tested the crossover cable,
renewed and refreshed the IP address, and nothing has
worked. I went to a cmd promt and typed in netstat and
it came back with this

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP ERIC:1081 RODNEY.mshome.net:2869
CLOSE_WAIT
TCP ERIC:2521
207.126.99.141.akamai.com:http ESTABLISHED
TCP ERIC:5000 RODNEY.mshome.net:4348
ESTABLISHED


I am not sure but I dont think the mshome.net should be
CLOSE_WAIT. Can someone help me?

Can't access some web sitesSymptoms: 1) If you're using MS ICS or Windows
server as router to access the Internet, your clients may not be able to
access certain web sites. However, the ICS host or the server doesn't have
this problem.
2) After installed a new router or cable modem replacing dial-up to access
the Internet, you can't access some web sites.
3) You also find that most web sites you can't access are block to ping or
they are security sites using HTTPS.

Causes: 1) The problem occurs because many web servers block ICMP messages
and the packets are dropped. As a result, the requested web site doesn't
load.
2) This problem is caused also by an incompatible MTU networking setting.
You may try to install the latest SP. If you use MS ICS, you may want to
configure all your Client computers to use the new, lower MTU as the default
for all Internet communication. To modify the MTU size, locate the following
registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\
Tcpip\ Parameters\ Interfaces. If you use a router like Cisco DSL Router,
you may want to adjusting the PPPoE MTU Size. For example, to adjusting the
PPPoE MTU Size on the Cisco DSL Router, do

interface ethernet0
no shut
ip address <ip address> <subnet mask>
ip adjust-mss 1452
