ADSL client setup problem

by Simke May 13, 2004 6:15PM PDT

G'day. Setup an ADSL modem on a Win 98 PC as host & access to all web sites without problem. However, when using a client with the same OS to access the net, some web sites displayed OK while some totally blank with error message. Thank you.

Regards,
Sim.

Details please.
by Kees Bakker May 13, 2004 7:25PM PDT

- What is the connection between the client and the host?
- What is the error message?
- Examples of a page that works, and a page that doesn't work?
- What happens if you view such a page directly on the client (connect a modem and dial in, or connect to the ADSL modem directly with USB or NIC).
- Popup- or ad-blocker installed on the client?
- Hosts-file different?
- Problem limited to IE or also on Mozilla?

Hope this helps.

Thanks Kees.
Client & host connection is Ethernet via a switch.
Error message is "The page cannot be displayed".
www.google.com works OK, http://reviews.cnet.com cannot be displayed.
If view from the client directly via a dial-up modem it's no problem.
No pop-up ad-blocker installed.
Host & client are with the same version of IE 5.5.
I use only IE.
Thank you.
