Internet connection sharing problems...

[Toefur]

I have two computers Networked here, sharing the same internet connection.

They were working fine up until today.

Now, the second computer can't seem to use the 'net. It will connect to MSN and stuff, but it wont let me do anything else at all, and I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. I've gone over everything a million times, and I dunno why it wont work...

One other similar prob, is that all of a sudden each time either of the computers restart... I have to run the 'Home network' setup thingy again for them to be able to detect each other... and i didnt have to do that before...

little help please?

I might be able to help, but first i need a little info.
1: What your OS is (EX: Windows 98,Windows XP,Linux,etc)
2: what kind of network : Wired (Ethernet) or Wirless (WiFi)

can both computers ping each other?
& can they both ping a computer on the internet?

It sounds like you got hack, but not for certain. If you answer the above questions I think you will find your answer faster.
