Other users in LAN only access Google sites!

[Taborda]

Hello ppl!

I have a strange problem here... I have a computer which serves Internet to two other computers. This internet connection sharing always worked fine, but since a few days ago, the users of the other two computers complainted that they could only access Google sites! For example, they can access Google, Google Earth, Google Mail, but nothing more! In Google.com they can even perform a search, get the results but then can't access them! If they click a link it won't take them anywhere!

As to file sharing between the computers there is no problem! We can see each others shared folders and download the contents.

Do you have any idea of what might be happening?
Thanks for your help!

I have no idea what's happening... but here are a few things you could try out:
What would happen if you tried to ping "yahoo.com" and "216.109.112.135" (ip address of yahoo) from the other two machines?
Are you using a proxy software? Could this be caching only google related sites?

If nothing else works I suggest you install a packet sniffing software like WireShark and seeing where all those packets are going to!
