XP client of XP ICS master can only use the internet for Google!

[test2005]

Hi,

Just so there is no confusion, my connection to the internet is a DSL
one.

I tried the suggestion of a couple of posters to copy the DNS settings
from the master PC and set the DNS Settings to the same on the client.
I did this and flushed the DNS cache. Unfortunately, although it made a
difference it was not positive. Now I cannot even browse through
Google.

Any other thoughts anyone?

Cheers,

KC

KC,

What "Winsock utility" did you run? Winsock corruption is a lot of fun to deal
with, and there are several tools to use, none of which are 100% effective.

Next, the DNS / MTU issue. Try and diagnose the problem.

Hi,

I tried everything on your Winsock guide: removed / reinstalled NIC
drivers; LSP-Fix; WinsockFix and WinsockFix XP; the netsh command line
prompt thing; and the registry rebuild. The problem is even worse now
as I no longer have LAN connectivity and cannot browse through Google
either.


Tonight I will try deleting and recreating the Winscok registry entries
and reloading TCP/IP. If that does not work, I might reinstall XP over
the top - and failing that go for a rebuild.

Thanks for all your advice so far,

First of all an apology for the last note, as I worded it poorly.
Although the fix did not work, Im fully aware how speculative IT
troubleshooting is, which is why I wrote 'thanks for the advice'.
However, when I read it again it looked like I was being sarcastic
(which I wasnt), and therefore looking an ungrateful jerk for all the
time effort given by posters in this group. Just thought I should
clarify that.

Now the update. Today I reloaded TCPIP and reentered the TCPIP entries
as guided. Unfortunately, this failed too.

I wonder if the issue is DHCP-DNS influenced, as I noticed the client
is no longer picking up an IP address?

That would certainly stop the Internet connection. And your laptop
gets an ip address correctly when you plug that in in place of the
desktop? Maybe you need a new network card.

You mentioned that it may be a winsock issue.

go to a command prompt and type in "netsh winsock reset capital" and hit
enter. this will reset your winsock catalog. see if that helps

You don't necessarily have to have a broadband connect to use a router. If
the PC with ICS has both a NIC and a modem you can still network your PC
with a router and still use ICS. But it still does not fix your issue.

"netsh winsock reset capital" -- "...will reset your winsock catalog" ??

netsh commands are somthing new in XP and only work in XP.

it worked for me when I had problems connecting to the internet.

NETSH is not new to WinXP. It was in Win2K.

However, the WINSOCK subfunction is new to WinXP SP2

Now are you sure the syntax really isn't...
netsh winsock reset catalog

rather than...
netsh winsock reset capital

Actually to fix a problem with an improperly removed Layered Service Provider (LSP)...

WinXP pre SP2:
netsh int ip reset

WinXP SP2:
netsh winsock reset

Resetting the Winsock catalog can fix Internet connection problems
caused by removing spyware, viruses, or security programs. The actual
form of the command is:

netsh winsock reset catalog

Netsh commands are also available in Windows 2000 and Windows Vista.
The "winsock" context was introduced in XP Service Pack 2. It doesn't
exist in 2000, XP Gold, or XP SP1.

Or maybe set up a network bridge between the wired and wireless
interfaces on the laptop?

Won't work, as the access point is not a bridge, it will only send packets
for wireless interfaces associated with it.
