| 136495 | 2003-04-17 08:37:00 | Hiya I have three PC's networked via ICS . The main PC is win XP Pro . The secondary PC's are win98se and win95 . The secondary PC's can access the net thru the main PC, but cannot access any Xtra pages . This is the main xtra . co . nz page, along with anything else beginning in www . xtra . Any other site appears to be accessible . This is the case whether I have a firewall running or not . I have looked in the settings and there are no sites in the restricted zones . My main PC has no problems accessing any Xtra pages . All other ICS settings and file sharing work ok . Has anyone else struck this? Thanks J :D |

| 136496 | 2003-04-17 10:14:00 | Do your secondary P.C's have the correct Gateway, & DNS settings? If you are using DHCP try configuring the I.P adddresses manually. Failing that consider running your shared connection through a proxy program such as Proxy+, and setting up that configuration in Internet Explorer. Hope this helps, Ashley |

| 136498 | 2003-04-17 10:30:00 | I am also a network with ICS & i can get to the xtra website ok. | stu140103 (137) | ||
| 136499 | 2003-04-17 10:30:00 | Hi Ashley I have configured the secondary PC's to obtain IE connection details automatically . I don't/haven't touched any DHCP settings . Seems strange that it is blocking Xtra and nothing else (that I have come across anyway) . I wonder if it is because my IP address is showing as my local IP address (as indicated when I run the GRC . com shields up test on the secondary PCs) and Xtra won't let the connection through . Wotz: Xtra works fine on this PC, as does Jetstream . :) J . :| |

| 136500 | 2003-04-17 12:33:00 | Are you on JetStream or DialUp? | Ashley Matthews (550) | ||
| 136501 | 2003-04-17 12:51:00 | hiya Ashley I am on Jetstream, using an USB external modem. The same thing happens using dial up though ... I just tried using my FreeNet dial up account - and Xtra is still blocked. I think I will just not access Xtra from the other PC's. Not really that much of an issue but it does bug me lol. Thanks J. |

| 136502 | 2003-04-18 02:59:00 | Yeah thats probably the easiest way. The only other solution i can think of is rather time consuming, that being Bridging the Jestream connection to your lan connection and manually entering your ip settings |

| 136503 | 2003-04-18 04:16:00 | Alternatively use a third party ICS agent. I recommend sygate or proxy+ www.tucows.co.nz |
