Thank you for the quick reply! I made mistake in my previous post.
ICS is on only the main PC.

I did make a little progress. If I enter the actual IP numbers for a
site on my client/laptop PC, not the www.whateversite.com name, it
works great! That is, it looks like the DNS is not resolving
www.whateversite.com into it's 999.999.999.999 IP numeric address. Is
there a setting I should alter so that my client PC uses the correct
DNS?
---later---
Hey!!! SUCCESS!!! I manually entered the DNS numbers in my client from
the host I found by ipconfig/all, it works great! Thanks for all the
help, it kept me on the correct path!!  )
