Right now I've got 2 PCs at home; both are running Win2k pro. One is set up as ICS server w/ 2 NICs and can browse the net; the other PC can obtain a "valid private" IP (something like 192.168.0.x) from the 1st PC; however, that machine cannot browse the web at all.
It can't ping any host on the Internet either. I've made sure everything's set to Automatically obtain IP / DNS in 2nd PC's TCP/IP; also tried 3 different ethernet cables; nothing worked and I'm wondering if any of you guys could PLEASE help me????
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link; it was real helpful, though I solved it by myself - reinstalled TCP/IP twice and it worked somehow.
