Can't connect to all sites on shared internet.
I have a WinXP home with sp2, and a Win98se computer. The computers are on a
network that works fine. They can see each other, and use each other's shares. The WinXP computer has a dial-up connection with ICS enabled. The win98se computer can reach some sites, but not most. I think that it might be the DNS setup. I cannot access MSN Search, Microsoft.com, or Windows Update from the Win98 computer. Is there something wrong with my setup. |

If it has entries for the unreachable sites, remove them. To edit the file, enter this command in the Start | Run box, making sure to include the "." at the end of the command: notepad C:\Windows\Hosts. If that doesn't solve the problem, it might be an MTU problem, although that usually only happens with shared DSL connections that use PPPoE. To see, find the right MTU setting on Win98, as shown he http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-107 and then make the MTU setting manually on Win98, or use DrTCP to make it: http://www.dslreports.com/front/drtcp.html -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
