Possible Network problem...

[Guest]

I have three computers networked. Two Dell desktops running XP and a laptop
running 98. There are a couple of sites I cannot access with the main
computer but can access with the other Dell and the laptop. Can anyone think
of anything I can try to resolve this problem. I have tried many of the
things in a number of forums without any success. Thanks for any help.

Please reply to this message in the news group (not by E-mail) with
more information to help other people understand the problem.

What things have you already tried that didn't fix the problem?

What type of Internet connection do you have? Does it connect
directly to the main computer, or is there other network hardware
between them? If so, what type of hardware?

On the other Dell or the laptop, open a command prompt window and type
this command:

ping <web site that main computer can't access>

For example:

ping www.dell.com

Note the IP address that the ping command shows, and try accessing
that IP address directly on the main computer. For example:

http://143.166.83.230

Does that type of access work?

I have a cable modem that hooks into Lyksys 4 port router. I set up our
network using the XP wizard on all three computers. I have pinged
adwords.google.com from all three computers and get a different IP address
from each. When I try and access with either of the addresses I get a Server
Error. I'm not sure what else to add to this and it has taken me a while to
get back here. I will check back everyday and see if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks.
