Make sure that you have Internet Connection Sharing setup
on the computer that is directly connected to the net.
 
Eddie, Windows XP has a glich in it. Scan your computers
for a file named HOSTS. It will probably be in the
Windows folder. Rename it to HOST.OLD and try you
internet browser again. nLet me know if this works

What glitch is that, Thomas, and how does it affect Internet sharing?
The HOSTS file is a normal part of Windows.

In Windows XP, the HOSTS file is in the folder named
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc
