I have a network of 20 systems, they are all connected via peer networking with primary aim of internet browsing.I have a router and a patch panel through which they were all connected.I had problem with my router and I discovered it has damaged.Since I use Patch panel I then decided to use server based networking in the absence of d router.I made a system with p111 600mh my server with windows 2000 server running on it.I then assign IP addresses to all of them and I use proxy for sharing d internet access.All of them on d network can browse but THEY CAN NOT ACCESS YAHOO, HOTMAIL,EXCITE ETC MESSENGERS.Pls help me out of this.Once again, d server runs win2000 server and d clients are mix of win98 and winme.

when you say 'browse' do you mean they can see each other or that they can see internet pages like google.com?

Yes, I can help. Since you are using a proxy, you have to configure the proxy address in all internet software u want to use, including chat software like yahoo and MSN messenger. So configure those software in each of ur machines with the proxy address.
