My friends and I setup a LAN with a Linksys 5-port workgroup switch using SWBELL DSL. My friend's computer has the DSL software installed and he uses ICS to share his connection. We have 2 other computers connected to the switch, but the 2 other computers can't access a lot of websites but the main computer can access everything. Is there some kind of firewall preventing the other computers from accessing websites? How can I fix this. Thank you in advance :)

My best advice would be to get a router - they're cheap, and would eliminate all those ICS headaches...

If you're really dedicated to using ICS (for some bizarre reason), you might post a bit more information on the setup - what OSes are running, any other software (firewalls, etc), and maybe even what sites you're having trouble with...
