Hi!

I got 2 PC's:

1- XP Pro (server)
USB cable modem
PCI Network Adapter

2- XP Pro & Win98 (client)
PCI Network Adapter


Network works fine, can share folders.
Executed the Network Wizard, and have access to internet in both PC's.
The problem is that in PC-2 (in both operative sistems) I can't login in any site that requests cookies, like yahoo mail, and even MSN messenger only sign in if I dont't check the option of saving the password (cookie again).

I have changed the privacy options to "accept all cookies" and also tried to disable firewall..

In the PC-1, everything works fine.

Does any one have a clue?

Thanks

Is there any type of security involved with the server as it seems pretty obvious the server works (direct connection to internet) client doesn't work (indirect connection to internet) does either machine have a personal firewall?

Don't have a ton of experience with xp internet connection sharing however i'd review those settings if no firewall is involved

hope that helps
 
~I have a personel firewall, but I've tried disabling it.
I think it's a XP bug. I had a few months ago the same cookie problem in PC-1 and one day it was ok.

It's really strange..

Thanks.

You may want to try getting rid of the XP internet connection sharing and try something like sygate which seems to work better I expect it will work on XP without XP's problems

Good Luck
