Got to ask here, because after reading about thirty documents on KB and elsewhere, I probably know every sales pitch on this they ever had, and all the problems they had with the W98SE version, and still don't have a clue on how to solve my problem.

Here's the layout: two W2k Pro boxes in a local network. Box A has a DSL on the second network card and Internet connection sharing on it. Box B has web access through the local network. This all works, except:

- can't send any emails longer than 1k, my ISP's server complains and reports failure
- can't upload anything over FTP
- can't access any of my email accounts on any server other than my ISP
- ICQ can't send files (not complaining about that, but it's another symptom).

Did anybody have anything like this?

BTW, the roles were reversed, the second NIC was in the Box B first, and then Box A had the same symptoms.
