Hey.

I have tried to set up the built in windows ICS on my home network of two
machines. The host comp uses WinME and the client comp uses XP. The network
works fine, and so does ICS, but there is one very strange problem. When I
browse internet on my host computer, all sites seem to show just fine, but
when i try to browse some of these sites on the client computer, they are
not found. The problem occures only with some specific sites (for example
www.hotmail.com) while other sites works just fine on both computers.

I tried to ping some of the sites that didn't seem to be browsable on the
client computer, and I got more and more confused. Some of the sites that i
_couldn't_ load in my browser was responding to my ping attempts, while some
sites that i _could_ browse didn't work to ping.

I stand perplexed before this issue, and I would be most grateful if someone
could give me a hint!
