Tom,

The commands should work from any computer - the ping command is universal to
the internet, any computer running TCP/IP should have it. It would be useful to
see if the problem is unique to your one computer, or universal to your LAN.

Are you running ICS on the downstairs host? Definitely check from there please.

The site www.williamyoung.biz does respond to my browser, but it's not pingable
- looks like a firewall somewhere drops pings. VRAnalysis: Connections to HTTP
port 80 on host 'www.williamyoung.biz' [earth.myacen.com] are working, but UDP
packets are being blocked past network "THEPLANET.COM INTERNET SERVICES
THEPLANE725-160" at hop 14. It is a HTTP server (running Apache).

OTOH, your "Ping request could not find host wwww.williamyoung.biz" looks like a
DNS problem somewhere in your neighborhood. At least, as long as you are
certain that neither LSPFix nor "netsh int ip reset" gave anything interesting
(did you also try WinsockFix <http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257>, or
WinsockXPFix <http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html> also)?
