Internet Gateway Active, no data though

[Chris]

HI,

I have set up a wireless network, 64bit encryption etc. I
wish to share the DSL connection on the machine connected
to the Linksys access point. **PROBLEM** The shared
internet connection is displayed on every computer in the
taskbar and data is being transmitted and recieved from
all computers. However when you wish to access the
internet and view a web page, you recieve the "The page
cannot be displayed", I have allowed the other computers
on the network to be allowed full access via the
firewall, all files on the other computers can be
accessed by any machine and LAN gaming can be carried out
with very low Latency. But still I cannot get any web
pages to display.


I can retrieve web pages bu using there IP address, but
not with the URL


Any ideas will be very highly appreciated.

Thanks very much

Chris

Check the DNS settings in the network connection properties. It should be
the IP of your default gateway (that is, the IP address of the LAN side
interface on your router).
