Can access only certian webpages

[Ed]

This is a tuff one.

I have two Windows XP Home computers networked together
using Internet Connection Sharing to access the internet
through a USB DSL modem. The Host machine is working fine
but the client can only access certian webpages. It can
access sites like Msn.com and Yahoo.com but cant access
sites like Google.com, Yahoo mail and Zoogdisney.com. I
cant access Google.com by IP address either. Security and
other Internet Explorer 6 settings are set the same on
both machines. Windows firewall is shut off also. The
local network works fine. This one has me stumped. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot Bob, that did the trick. Seems to me it's a
problem Microsoft should address (openly).

It's actually discussed pretty frequently. It's not a flaw in Windows, but
we did put a workaround into SP1.
