Sorry I couldn't say for that particular one.

It might be worth checking her DNS server settings... I can't remember if ICS (internet connection sharing) issues DHCP addresses to clients or whether it just honours all requests on it's IP range as a default gateway.

If it is DHCP, then it should have the same DNS servers listed as your main PC anyway.
If it's got manually assigned IP settings then it's worth checking to see if the DNS servers are correct.
