Internet sharing problem

I share internet between a couple of computers at home. The sharing server runs Win 2000 Pro, so do the others. Everything runs just fine except I can't browse a number of sites, such as Yahoo Mail, from the clients. The server doesn't have such a problem. Can somebody share experience in getting around of similar problem. Thanks
