I have two PC's running XP Home, I have a USB Cable modem connect to PC1. I
am sharing this connection with Internet Connection Sharing for PC2. On the
host machine there is no problems, but on the client (PC2) it works fine for
all websites, except microsoft.com. MSN Messenger also won't sign in but i
assume thats because it can't contact microsoft.com for authentication. It
just times out whenever you try to go to microsoft.com, i have checked
through nslookup and it is getting the right ip for it, i have tried typing
the ip in and it still don't work. has anyone got any idea's that may
help!!!?!?!?!?!?
