Update: The majority of website are working at a little slower pace. This is strange: www.yahoo.com is NOT loading however if i try to access the search engine via the Firefox Search Bar it works! Even Yahoo Mail and everything else. This is the same for both client systems.

When doing a Trace Route on the host system there are no lost packs with an external Address or the IP of the other client systems however in the case of an external website such as www.yahoo.com i get a lot of packet loses especially in the 2nd Packet.

Here is a Tracert Command on www.yahoo.com from the client system:

Tracing route to www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net [87.248.113.14] over a maximum of 30 hops:

Here is a Tracert Command on www.yahoo.com from the host system which works well:

OK I am now sure that problem is coming from my Laptop. I have configured on of the client systems to act as the host and my laptop to act as a client and the internet worked fine! I could access all websites without any problem, however not when my laptop is acting as a host.

While i was at it i looked and the clients configuration and applied to my laptop but i am still getting the same problem. A tracert command revealed that:

When Laptop was as client and everything was working fine:

Tracing route to www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net [87.248.113.14] over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms REOHIX.mshome.net [192.168.0.1]
2 86 ms 43 ms 43 ms 192.168.180.254
3 99 ms 44 ms 43ms gi3-4-614-agg-bkara-1.maltanet.net [217.22.190.225]
4 43 ms 42 ms 44 ms 217.15.97.226

This is what happened when the other system acted as a client and internet would not work:

1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms REOHIX.mshome.net [192.168.0.1]
2 * * * Request timed out.
3 * * * Request timed out.
4 232 ms 111 ms 93 ms 217.15.97.226

Please help me! No one is replying to my posts and i am trying the best i can to isolate the problem. I am not that expert with networking so i require your help on this.

FIXED!! It was something with the protocols! I bypassed the error by installing one of the computers wireless adapter which i did not use on my laptop and shared internet via it. The others system now connects well.

Don't tell me why the protocols started not to match even after a restart but they did!
