problem with internet sharing

Hi

I have established an ad hoc wireless connection between two computers. On
the laptop I have Win Xp running and on the desktop PC Win 2000. From the
file and print sharing point of view everything is working fine. But the
problem came when I was trying to share the internet connection.

I used Network Setup Wizard on the laptop to establish internet sharing. The
setup went out ok, and I was able to open www.google.com on the desktop
computer (the one with Win 2000). Also, when I put some word in the Google
search bar to look for I get results. But that is it. If I try to click on
some of the result web pages, or I try to open some other web site besides
Google nothing happens.

The browser is showing "Web site found. Waiting for reply..." but it won't
open the page (for example www.yahoo.com).

To summarize, only www.google.com I am able to open, other web sites no.

Any suggestions what to do?

Thanks.

Yeah, you should stop trying to do Ad-Hoc with XP. It's flaky to say the
least about it.
