Hello Everyone
I have a small windows based network on workgroup. My network consists of 4 machines. One is linux and one is windows XP and other two are windows 2000.
One of my windows 2000 machine has two NIC cards on it one is connected to internet and other is to private network. I installed internet connection sharing on nic connected to internet.

on my windows XP machine i also have IIS installed because i need it to test some application.

All other machines can access internet but my windows XP machine is not able to. Though i can ping www.yahoo.com from command prompt but am not able to view website in my browser.

Please post some suggestions how to fix it.
Thank you

Try making the Windows XP machine the one that connects directly to the internet and have the others connect to it.

Get a 4 port router that way you don't have to use ICS at all. Each system will get the conect to the internet via the router. Instead of depending on one of the PCs being on and online.

My internet is working now. Actually somebody changes proxy setting on my machine. due to that i was able to ping sites from command line but was not able to open it in browser because browser was sending the request for name resolution to other machine.
Thank you
