I'm looking for some help.
  I have a home network of which is having issues with
the shared internet connection. It stopped working about
4 weeks ago. A nice gentleman in this community pointed
me in the correct direction, yet now I am looking for a
fix. I have a host computer and 2 client computers.
  The client can ping 66.94.231.98 (yahoo)
successfully.The client can not ping http://www.yahoo.com
sucessfully until I force the host computer to ping
http://www.yahoo.com. Once I force the host to ping the
name, the client works great!.
  When a new dial up connection is established on the
host, the above pinging proceedure must be repeated for
the shared connection to work.
  One more thing, the host is running XP Home upgraded
from Win98. The client is XP home.
  I still have much to learn about networks, But I
believe the DNS to be the cause?
  Can anyone out there give me direction to a solution.

  Appreciate the time,
  William
