Hi all, first post so take it easy on me 
I've already run a search to see if I can answer this with an older post but I've had no joy at all so here I go. I'm not the most technically minded guy but I can follow instructions and would really appreciate some help on this.
Bit of background first.
20" iMac G5 1.8Ghz
1gb Ram, 160gb HD
OS 10.3.9
and a pc
So I currently use AOL as my isp though this will change to UK Onlines 8mbs service in a few days. I was connecting the Mac to the internet through the pc using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and everything was fine until an update from AOL stopped the ICS from working!
I then bought a Netgear DG834 and plumbed it all in using the 'wizard' option. Now I can access the internet without the pc and all was well until I tried to access my MSN mail on the Mac.
Nothing. Cant even access the MSN homepage or Microsoft.com for that matter.
Nor can I access it from the pc.
I can access my gmail account, Limewire, Skype and the iTMS. I can even use MSN Messenger still. I just cant get onto those sites or grab my mail.
I'm thinking that perhaps I need to tweak a few settings on the Mac and pc to get them but wouldn't know the first place to start. I can provide my Network settings of you need them.
Help!
and thanks in advance
