We have a host computer which has a DSL connection. There are 3 other client
computers connected to this host. The LAN connection works fine and the
client computers all show high speed connectivity. The host computer all
works fine online. However all the client computers have difficulty getting
around. It could take ten tries to get to a website, if you could at all.
(all the while having a connection)It has worked perfectly in the past. I
have tried a new network, take down all firewalls nothing. Sometimes all
the page doesn't load if at all. Also seems very difficult once you get into
a site to get around.

Help thanks
