Home Networking and IE

Hiya,

Wonder if anyone can offer me some advice.
I have set up a home network between two computers with my computer being
the host. Both computers see the LAN as enabled and running at something like
100Mbits. (I set it up using the Home Network Wizard on both machines).

On my machine I can fire of IE and surf without any problems. On the other
machine, whenever IE is started it always says 'Page not found' regardless of
which page I access. I thought that IE may be thinking I was working offline
but that is not the case.

Can someone please advise as to what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

We don't know what options you specified in the Home Network Wizard,
so it's hard to say what's wrong.

I've written a web page with details of how to set up Internet
