win2000, winXP ICS Problems

[Kevin C]

Help. I have an ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) problem:

---------------------------
Senario:
---------------------------
HOST is a Windows 2000 Server with 2 NIC cards (DSL, Internal LAN)
* DHCP Server not enabled, DNS Server not enabled

CLIENT is a WinXP with 1 NIC card (Internal LAN)

I have ICS enabled on the HOST's Internal LAN and I know it is working
because the CLIENT can get to the internet (ie., ping's, tracert's, etc)
However 2 out of 10 page requests get 'Cannot find Server' errors... I've
tried looking online for a solution but I cannot find anything. What
conflicts could be occuring between HOST and CLIENT that can cause this? How
do I troubleshoot and fix this? I've included both machine's IP
configuration below...

Thank you in advance for any help with this!

Cheers,
-Kevin

For anyone who is experiencing this problem ... a work around was to not use
ICS and use a proxy server on the computer connected to the internet...

go to
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/proxy.htm
and download this proxy thing. i havent had any problems
since i installed it (20 mins ago)

(if anyone knows why this works better than ICS then I'd love to know)

Cheers,
