Internet Connection Sharing problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have recently purchased a notebook and I am now trying to share the
Internet Connection on my desktop PC (which is directly connected to
the ISP) to the notebook via a hub.

While the Internet connection on my desktop PC has always been normal,
I found that I am unable to access SOME of the websites on my notebook.
For example, I can access www.google.com but not hk.yahoo.com. I would
access www.bbc.com but not www.nytimes.com.
I am also unable to access hotmail.com

I have already turned off the firewalls on both of the computers, and
have also tried to use Firefox instead of IE, but the situation
persists.

Do you have any clue about what's happening?
