| 118558 | 2003-02-05 03:40:00 | host pc is running XP home ed. sharing pc is win98SE. std 56k modem dialup connection. now, if trying to access internet from the win98SE pc only some webpages come up, pages like microsoft, cnn, trademe fire up within a few seconds, but others just bring up the 'cannot locate server' and 'dns error'. have set it up to run int explorer 6 so it has the so-called full security encription, have played around with settings galore to no avail. was wondering if it was simply a case of the win98SE pc and the std dialup being just too slow - yet if thats the case why would some web pages that i would have thought large; show up?? msn messenger works fine as well just to make it even trickier! anyway if anyone has a marvellous solution i'd love to hear it (would get our boarder off my pc anyway!) |

| 118560 | 2003-02-05 03:50:00 | Do the messages that tell you "Can't locate www.pcworld.co.nz" say who it is from? Just wondered if you were running a proxy server and if so you might need to enlarge it's cache. | Gorela (901) | ||
| 118561 | 2003-02-05 03:59:00 | The problem is that the slave computer can't find a DNS server. The addresses of sites you can access are probably cached -- perhaps on the slave itself. I don't know whether it is supposed to use the master computer as its DNS server (which will refer requests to the ISP's server), or have the ISP's DNS server address in its setup. Windows experts will tell you. :D |

| 118562 | 2003-02-05 04:00:00 | how are you sharing the net? ics or proxy? if ics make sure you have the host pc in the dns settings and try your isp dns servers in there as well. |
