I'm having the same problem too.. I'm using a client computer, Windows XP Prof.
Service Pack 1, my husband has the host computer using Windows 2000.. we Internet
Connection Sharing over a PPPoE connection... the client computer can't open approx
45% of the webpages... this began when we connected to ADSL.. before then it was
fine when we had a dial up connection... I would love to have the solution to this
problem.. Verizon denys its anything to do with them and appart from the new ADSL
connection, we changed no other settings.
