Re: Strange net config - possible? Alternatives? (2 NICs per PC 2

Steve thanks,
I have done as requested but no connections are made through the IE browser.

I can successfully ping in DOS [4 packets sent & received] to both 192.168
etc and 216.239 etc but not to the domain name yahoo or google: The response
is "Ping request could not find host www.google.com". Previously, I had
pinged to yahoo's domain name through DOS but not this time.

For the record, some groups are reporting difficulties with Zone Alarm but I
have used ZA support to meticulously remove every trace of ZA before
proceeding.

Regards,
Mark.
