View Full Version : Internet Connection Sharing; Clients can't access certain sites

I'm running Internet Connection Sharing over a network. The internet functions fine on the server and client computers, except that some sites are not available on the client computers; the server, however, has no problem accessing these sites. The internet connection being used is DSL (Bell High Speed Edition) running PPPoE.

URL's that Clients can't access include (as examples):

www.ticketmaster.ca
www.fhm.com
www.icq.com
www.divx.com

When loading these sites Internet Explorer says "Opening Page http://" but the page never loads (the progress meter moves very slowly, and eventually stops halfway through, but no error message is given).

If anyone knows any settings that could be changed to make the sites available on the client computers, I'd appreciate some advice!

Thank you!

Try using different DNS servers on the clients. Make your pick.

216.168.224.200
216.168.254.69
216.168.224.201
