Hello -
Since updating to WinXP from Win2K, we have a very
annoying problem with Internet Connection Sharing.
Our "network" consists of two PCs (just upgraded to XP
Pro), one of which is the ICS host for our cable modem
connection and the other which is a standard ICS client.
Our problem is that it takes an extremely long time (at
least ten minutes) after starting up the client machine
before it can view web pages.
The client can, however, download and send email via
Outlook immediately, which makes me think that the problem
has something to do with DNS. Also, if I try to view
Network Connections or Internet Options, they freeze
completely and have to be shut down from the Task Manager.
I have also noticed that the client is not visible on the
file sharing network from the host computer while the
client is unable to connect.
As far as we can tell, we have set up ICS in the proper
and standard way. What might cause this to happen, and how
can we fix it? Once the client computer finishes making
its connection, we have no problems, but this makes for a
frustrating start to every day.
THANKS in advance for your replies.
