Can use unternet explorer using ics

Hi,

I have a domain, one client pc has a modem and connection sharing turned on.
From the other pc I can ping my isp and automatic updates find the net ok.
But I can not use Internet explorer? Page not found.
I am using XP sp2.

Any suggestions

Tim

Could be a dns problem. Try using nslookup to see what it reports as your
dns server and then use it to try and resolve an internet name such as
Yahoo.com. Since your using a domain, I assume you mean an Active Directory
domain, your internal dns server - a domain controller would need to be able
to resolve internet names via the use of a forwarder or using root hints.
See the link below on dns in an AD domain to see if it can help you out.
Also if you have the XP SP2 firewall enabled, disable it temporarily to see
if that makes a difference. In general ICS and domain computers will not
work well because I believe that ICS requires the ICS computer to be an DHCP
"allocator" which can cause problems on a network with domain computers that
are DHCP clients. Using NAT on a server could be a better solution, though I
have never used such with a dial up connection. --- Steve

You are on the right track, Steven. ICS isn't really compatible with AD.
The ICS "server" works as a DNS proxy, so the client needs to use
192.168.0.1 as the DNS setting. This fails for AD, as the client needs to
use the AD DNS server.

With NAT you can get around it by using DNS forwarding on the AD DNS
server. Not sure if this will work for ICS though.
