I have a PC (Windows 2000) set up to share it's wireless internet connection with another PC I have which is a dual boot WinXP Pro/Linux machine. When I attempt to access the internet from the dual boot machine, it seems the only website I can get to is Google. This is very puzzling to me. If I can get to one site, shouldn't I be able to get to ALL sites? I can search and everything but if I click on a link the PC (whether booted to windows or Linux) will sit and chew on the request indefinitly. If I manually type in a website say MSN weather.com etc. same result. What gives???

I was able to ping my WAN address on my router as well as the DNS server for Comcast. I did try that originally. I did not do a tracert though. I was wondering if it were a firewall issue since I do have a firewall on the 2k PC. I listed the IP of the dual boot as a trusted addy. I just assumed since Google was passing that it wasn't a firewall issue, I know you should never assume, shame on me. The 2 boxes are connected via a crosslink cable.
