This is a common problem with DSL connections that use PPP Over
Ethernet (PPPoE). If that applies to you, here are some possible
fixes. Any one of them should solve the problem:

1. Install Windows XP Service Pack 1 on the ICS host computer.

2. Find the right MTU setting on the client computers, as shown here:

and then make the setting manually on the client computers, or use
DrTCP to make it:

3. Download the free RASPPPoE program and install it on the host
computer. Use it instead of XP's PPPoE program. Details at these
sites:
