Help
I am having a bizzare problem with ICS under WinXP... My primary machine has a 56K dial-up connection, is able to browse the internet just fine. My secondary PC shows the ICS connection, is able to browse to several sites (main msn, microsoft, and hotmail), but seems to time-out on any other site. I am able to ping *any* site from that machine, but I cannot browse.
Does anyone have a good troubleshooting procedure that could help me identify and fix this problem?

I solved my own problem- I dumped WinICS and went with AnalogX Proxy for the time being. I am looking at AllegroSurf as a possibility, but I want to make sure it's worth the $60 price tag for the 3 computer option. Anyone have any opinions on it?

I've been using sygate home network for more than a year on windows 2000 (i had a network with 2 win2k pro computers, server had dsl connection).
I upgraded to winxp a while ago (both computers) and i'm still using sygate home network. i'ts the best NAT software around to me. And believe me, i've tried a lot of solutions:
winroute pro: lost connection after a day or 2 in 2k, BSOD in xp
wingate: bullshit, never worked
comsocks: great little NAT software, but doesn't support shtml sites
avirt proxy server: worked great in 2k, works in xp but makes my network places crash
sambar proxy server: never got it to work here
spoonproxy: very good program, but every application on clients must be configured manually (i still use that one as a socks server for icq)
winproxy: worked fine for a while, but then it wouldn't load anymore, dunno why
602Pro LAN Suite 2000a: worked, but i believe everything has to be configured manually too
PPPshar Pro 1.8.1: don't remember what was wrong with it anymore
browsegate proxy server: don't remember either
I tried some other small apps, but i don't remember the names...
I really recommend sygate, i installed it, and never had to touch it again, it just loads as a service. www.sygate.com, it's about 40$ for 3 computers. The version on their site is build 803, but it has problems when a realtek nic is installed on the server when running xp. You can get a fixed build (805 and 806 on their ftp, 805 works great, i didn't test 806)
sygate ftp: http://207.33.111.31
or ftp://207.33.111.31
