here is the situation...

2 windows 2000 machines.

both machines have SP2 and all the latest fixes.

the problem is that the client machine in the workgroup can't access some web sites. it just times out but on the host machine these site work fine.
also, every now and again, the client machine fails to download any emails sent to the address useing outlook\outlook express.

any idea's?

p.s.

Check your Application event log to see if you are getting any errors from the ICS service. They may help to resolve the problem.

Just to make sure... you didn't happen to name the computers the same thing did you?

What is an example of a site or some sites that you can't access from the client computer?

Do you run any proxy servers, like ad blocking or caching... any sort of internet filter?

 

[theodus]

Im not running a proxy, i AM running a fire wall on the host computer with add blocking but this doesnt happen on that computer, only the client. some sites which i cant access are.

these sites just time out.
they looks as though they will oad but then they dont..
