These tests should help find the problem:
1. On the host computer, right click the local area network connection
and click Status | Support | Details. It should show:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server = none
2. On the client computer, right click the local area network
connection and click Status | Support | Details. It should show:
IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1
3. If #1 and #2 are right, open a command prompt window on the client
and enter these lines. Each one should get four replies:
ping 192.168.0.1
ping 216.239.39.99
ping google.com
4. If #1-#3 are right, enter these addresses in Internet Explorer.
They should both take you to the Google web page:
http://216.239.39.99
http://google.com
If the only failures are the Google tests in #3 and #4, the client's
DNS server setting is wrong.
Otherwise, it could be an MTU problem. In that case,
1. Find the right MTU setting on the client, as shown here:

2. Make the setting manually on the client, or use DrTCP to make it:
