Can't connect

Daughters One and Two have a simple (port-to-port? no hub)
network. All of a sudden, Daughter 2 can't go on-line.
IE6 eventually gets a DNS error "Cannot find server..."
after a long wait. Everything else on both computers is
fine, just can't connect on the one, whose 10G HD is just
about full. I used the repair tool, and
uninstalled/reinstalled IE6, but no dice. What gives?
Thanks, Jim

The only reply I have received was in the newsgroup, and
I beleive the way I wrote the question may have confused
the respondent. He/she wrote:
Get rid of the "P2P", if it's Kazaa, here's a tool to wipe
it out.

Download the Kazaa-be-gone tool, assuming Kazaa.

For loss of Internet connectivity due to a Spyware and
virus ridden P2P
use the "LSP-fix": http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

If daughters *must* run a P2P, here are some "supposedly"
Spyware
free (use at own risk and peril).

I had already run SpyBot. My kids do a lot of instant
messaging, however. Send your e-mail address to me and
I'll let you know if I get a solution. I have a feeling
it has something to do with the internet connection
sharing settings. (e-mail address removed)

Which OS? Unless IE is the only Internet application you can't use
you may get better help from a newsgroup which specializes
in networking for the OS.


Also there is a web site which specializes in networking using Windows.
The site has completely changed since I was there last
but here is a guess of where it may be useful for you to start:

Good luck
