ADSL issue
I have a small network with PCs (XP, W98-2, Millenium) and Mac (OS9).
I have a new ADSL Internet connection (dynamic IP)
The XP machine is the internet administrator.
First thing I´ve done:
I checked the boxes to share Internet with the other computers (they have static IP: 192.168...) and to enable the personal firewall.
All is working fine but the clients could not download email from a certain server (using Eudora, Outlook, Incredimail) as the XP server does.
The Pop server shows the number of messages and they begin to download but only a bite.
The same thing is happening browsing a few websites, it is impossible to access to them. (weather.com)
I don´t know if it is a coincidence but those site "refuse" the ping command.
I was making some tests. I changed the internet server for a computer with W98-2 and all those problems have gone.
I need the machine with XP to be the internet server.
I was making another tests:
I disabled XP internet sharing and security and I´ve tried with Winproxy, Winroute and Wingate (third-party software), ZoneAlarm (as a firewall)(enabling and disabling it) but always the same problem with those servers.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks
(I´ve tried with cablenut but without good news)
