Internet Sharing

[Guest]

I have two PC's, one internet connection. Both PC's can see each other. Internet Sharing is installed on the Host. The Client can ping external websites, but cannot view them in a browser

Any suggestions??

I have looked at all of Microsoft help and this should be a simple procedure, but im having great difficulty with it

Thanks Paul

Are you saying they can ping them by name?
If they can ping them by name it is not a DNS issue it would be a networking
issue.
Post back with more info on your setup. Things like what OS the two machines
have and how many NICs.
Two interfaces are required for ICS or the shared internet connection would
need to be a dial up or USB interface. You can't use ICS or NAT with only
one interface.

Another thing to check - make sure the client doesn't have IE configured to
use a proxy server.
