I just enabled internet connection sharing on my win2k server. One client needs to access microsoft.com for security updates but it does not work. Non of the other machines work as well.. All of them are running windows XP. The win2k server can access any web site. The clients can access other sites I have tried.
I'm using a dual network adapter configuration with dsl that is pppoe.
Any thoughts?
 
Screw ICS!

Get a DSL/Cable Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41. there are *many* advantages to such a
device. I am using one right now with my Verizon DSL account and PPPoE is built-into the
Router.

Also make sure you are; virus, worm, Trojan and parasite free. Some block access to MS
Windows Update.
