Client computer cant get email on ICS

[claudia]

XP host, ICS was working, all 12 client W98 connected to
internet, and downloaded mail, but now they can only
connect to Internet, from the host XP I can check emails
fine, but the client computers connect to pop email but it
just freezes ther, and they just won´t download.
I´ve checked in 3 W98 and 1 XP computer, with different
email host accounts and does the exact same thing no
matter what domain they try to get the emails.

Any ideas on what could be the problem? I figure something
is blocking the mails from passing through the host XP. I
had norton firewall and I disabled it and unistalled it,
and still does the same thing, that would leave only WXP
to be the problem.

Thanks for the help, its driving me nuts

Ken,
Thanks for the reply, yes the ICS host is using PPPoE, I´m
not sure about having the SP1 installed, but it was
working fine until a couple of days ago, so I know it
should work. Is so frustrating.

The problem that SP1 addresses could be caused by your ISP changing settings
or your email host running a firewall so SP1 is worth a shot I think.
