Internet Browsing from the client

[Guest]

Two XP Pro's networked Ok. The client accesses the internet via the main's
ADSL cable modem. Wierd thing it can access some sites but not others, for
instance it can access and search via Google, but it won't access MSN or
Windows update type sites. It accesses my bank's site generally but not the
sign on screen for the accounts??

I'd bet you have an MTU setting problem.

Since you use ADSL, I would check the MTU first.
