Just got broadband today. I have my computer plugged into a router via Ethernet, and the router plugged into the cable modem. The router is acting as a DHCP server. The thing is, I'm trying to share the connection with my brother's computer, which is connected to my computer via a Linksys Phoneline networking card. Both networks are working fine, it's just that he isn't able to get on the Internet at all.
I have enabled Internet Connection Sharing on the Ethernet card that's connected to the router with the Phoneline network selected as the subnetwork to share the Internet connection with. This of course makes my computer a DHCP server for the phone line network, and I have made his computer autoconfigure and such to get an IP address automatically. The thing is, he isn't able to do anything except ping my computer and access my Windows shares. Accessing web sites doesn't work, as he can't resolve hostnames.
Both computers are running Windows 2000. Any advice would be appreciated.
