You need to change the DNS servers to the IP addresses of your ISPs DNS servers.

Any other firends who could Advice me..Please send me message to rohit_handsome_4u@yahoo.com or post a raply over here.Thank you.

How did these two computers share internet access? Through router, switch or?
It seems that you have two different class of IP... one is 192.168 base and the other is 10.0 base. Computers from my understanding do not talk with each other if they are in different local class.

Maybe that is why?

After you connect to the Internet, try to go to command prompt (go to Run, and type in cmd and press enter). Type in "ping 202.56.250.5"

If you are living in the states, your DNS is quite slow, because the responsive time is aroudn 250ms while mine is around 20ms. Try SBC's DNS 206.13.29.12 =)

Hope this helps.

rohit_model4u: there was no need to PM me the exact contents of your post above. Things like this make me less likely to bother responding to the thread.

Anyway, I've just noticed what [ABA]moto has pointed out, and there do seem to be two different subnets. Why? And where's the actual connection to the Internet?

See if you can browse to this address: http://66.102.9.104

hi [ABA]moto and EDWINS
Thank you friends for taking out time for replying me.iam not from US .Iam from INDIA.

Now as EDWINS said i typed this address: http://66.102.9.104 and GOOGLE was displayed without any problem. and as moto said i couldnot even ping the SBC's DNS 206.13.29.12 ok.leave it.

now i hope i will get my problem sloved!!!

OK, so if you've set your DNS servers to these addresses (which it looks like you have from the screenshot), can you now try accessing www.google.com

Is there any reason why you're using a proxy server? I think you'd find things easier to setup, if you just used the built-in Internet Connection Sharing.



Check on the Yahoo site and see if you need any ports opened up in order to use voice chat. Things may be a little different since you're trying to use a proxy server.

hi EDWINS
thz for replying me.actually u can see my images in my site http://www.eshelps.com/web/personal...myclientpc.html

but i know only these settings so i configured using these settings if you know any other way of configuring things please tell me.. i will be very thank full to you. at present i can view all sites no problem i can also browse www.google.com from my client PC directly.If u know any other settings plz tell me if u have any link showing the ip numbers which should be configured please tell me.i read whole forums of devshed but got no correct information on DNS every one only tells about ip address and asks to disable DNS...s o i need ur help in finding out appropriate solution...Thank you..i will again check ur reply in 5mins..

Well, from what I gather, everything is working on your second PC apart from the fact that that it can't access the Yahoo voice chat. I'm guessing there is something wrong with your proxy, because the rest of your Internet works (meaning that there isn't a DNS problem).

Could you disable the proxy for the moment, reset any settings in Internet Explorer and Yahoo Messenger to do with proxies, and enable Internet Connection Sharing on the computer with the Internet connection. Then, try the voice chat again.

hi edwim
ok i will remove the proxies and disable all my firewalls but what should i type in internet explorer>Tools>InternetOptions>Connections>LAnSettings>??? how should i configure and what should i enter please suggest me..Tell me the ip number to be typed or which box should be checked.i will again check your reply in 5 mins..thank you.

Attached are the settings you should have, if you don't want to be using a proxy. If this doesn't work, try ticking the button "Automatically detect settings".

Make sure also, that you have enabled Internet Connection Sharing on the first PC, and that the default gateway of the second PC points to the IP address of the first PC.

Any possibility that Yahoo Messenger is having a conflict with Win98?

That IS a Win98, right? God, I miss the old times... =P

Try to use a Win2000 and WinXP... I think you should have no problem...

Also, are you using routers? Could it be router flaws? I have heard that some of the NETGEAR routers have some bugs to open connection to voice chat and webcam with earlier firmwares.. Try to upgrade your firmwares for your routing devices as well.. Maybe that will solve the problem.

hi edwins,
AS you suggested i diabled PROXY and created a basic ICS for My Client PC
but i encountered a problem and internet is not coming in my client pc
10.0.0.2 to show you i have take Pics and uploaded my configuration please see it.

heres my link. .i uploaded the pics of my ICS configuration

http://www.eshelps.com/web/personal...etwork/ics.html

as [ABA]moto enquired..i dont use any ROUTERS i just made my own 8pin cable and had it
clipmed with my friend and attach it to ETHERNET CARDS directly. all wires are correct
as i can browse internet through proxies.and need a solution for DNS.i tried allowing
voice servers of YAHOO from ZONE ALARM but in Vain.

i created ICS by going to ADD/Remove Programe and made an ICS and
configured the settings.Please do take a look in my site
http://www.eshelps.com/web/personal...etwork/ics.html

Every one who like to suggest me can PM me or send me Mail.my yahoo id is rohit_handsome_4u if possible add me i will be alwayz online..
Thank You all...
