I have this really weird problem with my internet connection where I can connect, ping, and tracert, but I cannot get web pages, ftp, or email. This is a tested setup that all of a sudden started having these problems. Dialing long distance to another pop works fine. Connecting to the same number with my laptop works fine.

So I installed windows internet connection sharing on my laptop and added it as a gateway on my desktop. It works great, and now I can relax while the ISP fixes this (last time it took them two weeks) and not rack up long distance charges.
