Hello,
Have a bit of frustration problem...I have 2 computers,
both connected using ICS with DSL. Everything works
perfectly fine, except when I go to access a certain web
sites on the client computer like, ebay.com it won't let
me. Does anyone have a solution to this problem. I am
sure its just an easy fix.
Any help would be great!!!

This is a common problem with DSL connections that use PPP Over
Ethernet (PPPoE). 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, as Ken
Wickes suggested.
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:
