I have 2 computers on a network with a direct connection to the internet. We have our own DNS, IP, Subnet, and Gateway numbers. I cannot get the internet connection to work on these 2 computers. We have 5 other computers that work great. These computers can access the network but not the internet. I have tried deleting everything and typing it back in, I removed the TCP/IP protocol and added it back, etc. I have tried everything that I can think of. I haven't done anything different withthese 2 computers. HELP, I need help on this fast. Please give me some advice.

Please advise what operating system is being used on all of the computers. Is DHCP being used? What kind of network is involved?

Have you installed a proxy server or a"Internet Connection Sharing"?

This is required to route the internet requestes to the client computer

I agree that you need a proxy server or at least "internet connetion sharing". There is a ton of proxy software out there if you don't want to spend a lot of money, check out www.download.com. For more info a good resource is www.tcp-ip.com. It'salways good to double check all of the network properties. IF sone right you mgith not even have to deal with DHCP. If we had more info, might be able to help further.

CLEANING TCP/IP STACK
Clean the TCP/IP stacks (Winsock and Winsock2) out of the Registry:
Run RegEdit
Click on + for HKEY_Local_Machine
Click on + for System
Click on + for CurrentControlSet
Click on + for Services
Highlight Winsock andhit the delete key
Confirm yes
Highlight Winsock2 and hit the delete key
Confirm yes
Click on the + for VxD (just above the Winsock entries you deleted)
Highlight Winsock and hit the delete key
Confirm yes
Highlight Winsock2 and hit the delete key
Confirm yes
Exit RegEdit

To re-install new stacks, you must delete all network entries and re-install them.
Go to Control Panel / Network
Delete all entries.
Reboot the machine and let the system re-install the hardware drivers.
Enter all data in the Control Panel / Network (probably just the IP address and Gateway).

this answer seemed more valid than the others but it did not solve my problem
