hi, my laptop is connected to a host PC, all the computers in the network
have windows XP professional except my laptop which is home edition.

my problem is that the other client computers in the network can easily
access the internet while my laptop has a hard time accessing the net.
everytime i click the browser an access denied is shown but when i try to
refresh the browser 3 times and sometimes 8 the browser can now access the
net. please forgive my grammar.

BTW, i have already scanned my laptop with updated ad-aware, spyware doctor
and AVG anti-virus had found to be free of bugs and still i have this problem.

hoping for your immediate solution on this regard. thanks

Can you do a ping to the local network card in your laptop. Go to Start/run
type cmd and then ping localhost at the prompt. That will tell you if your
laptop NIC is working OK.

Assuming it is, I would try to access the internet directly using your
laptop. If you can do this, then the issue is that you do not have Internet
Connection Sharing on your host PC. To do that you have to run the Network
Setup wizard.

Best answer is get a router, then connect all your PCs to that.

Hope that helps,
Steve
