I've read alot on this, but no one has really addressed my problem.

OK, well I've got 2 win2000 prof systems. The host is setup using my dialup modem as the internet connection and my nic on the 192.168 network. Everything is connected and I'm able to ping all addresses (client>host, client>isp, client>host>isp) Which tells me that everything is connected properly and software is installed. I can even run Kazaa from the client through the ics host, with no speed problems, I get full bandwidth. They are connected through cat5 cables to a hub. (internet>host>nic>cable>hub>cable>client)
***The problem is that when I try to access web pages either through ie or mozilla both either load super super slow (I mean way slower than it takes the host sys) or what happens 90% of the time is they return 404 page not found(ie) errors.***
I'm thinking that it could be some dns setting or browser setting, due to the fact that the p2p software gets full bandwidth. Could this be an isp issue, where they don;t allow ICS?? DNS problem?? I uninstalled Netbeui (sp?) to lessen any packet traffic. I'm not sure what I've missed here. I've seen ICS using DialUp work at the doctors office with far better results than I'm having. Can't figure out what the floodgate here is?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses
Much appreciated
 
Well, if you've haven't fixed your browsing problem by now, my suggestion would be to set up your proxy server. Although i don't know much of anything for sure i have set up a few networks w/ ICS. If you are using IE6 for example, you would go to tools>internet options, connections tab, then lan settings. Check use proxy server and alick advanced and then for HTTP enter 198.168.0.1 (or whatever the address of your host computer on your network is), and i've always used port 85, but honestly i don't know much about that part. If you're using a different browser then i'm sure you can find the settings on your own. But of course you've porbably figured all of this out by now. See ya
