ICS stopped working

helping a friend with a small peer-to-peer network. She has been using
ICS to share a dial-up modem on Computer 1 (WIN98SE) with computers 2
and 3. All are connected with a hub and it has worked O.K. for a year
or more. On Tuesday, users on computers 2 and 3 couldn't acess their
e-mail accounts via the network. ISP said it is a network problem and
not their problem. Computers 2 and 3 can still access other drives on
the network so we assume the cables, hub, etc. are O.K. The only thing
they can't do is send and receive e-mail. Tried one of the accounts
from my home computer and it worked O.K. so I guess it is correct at the
ISP's end.

any ideas how to debug and fix this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, mine bust too, and the only way I could get it to work
was reinstalling windows. after DELETING the registry. It was
obviously a registry problem. I then spent almost a month to get my
other programs to work again. The second time it happened I downloaded
proxyplus , configured it , and never looked back. (free for small
networks)
