John,

The setup that you assume is correct - I agree with your statement regaring
the two external DNS-servers, too, but had them only installed because of
this problem with WS1.

The firewallsoftware is part of Winproxy and therefore on WS3, too. BTW, I
have 11 WS in my network, plus 2 vitual ones by means of VMWare and one
KISS DVDplayer (with internet access) and, apart from WS1, they all have
internet access through the same gateway (192.168.0.9).

WS1 can also ping WS3 (tried that before) and 4.2.2.2 'request timed out'

Thanks,

- Thees Peereboom
