ICS - Can't access internet from host 1

[jase25]

Hi all,

Please Please Help me!

I have 4 computers connected via a hub all running XP. One of the machines has a DSL modem connected accessing BT Openworld for Internet access. I attempted to run the network setup wizard in order to share the internet connection and all seemed fine. Now I try and access the internet from this machine and it comes up with 'page cannot be displayed'. It is still connecting to BT Openworld fine, but just wont get to any web pages. I've even stopped sharing the connecting and using this machine in isolation and it still fails.

I've checked DNS and it sems to allocate these o.k via Openworld.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jason

The Winsock fix worked, strange thing was that everytime I made changes to the network properties on the broadband connection (including the network setup wizard), it corrupted it so I had to run it everytime.

Thanks for the help bcastner!
