We recently bought a new imac running leopard os x 10.5.3. My husband and I share a linksys wireless router. He is on a HP laptop. Recently, it seems as though my iMac is "stealing" away the internet from his laptop. When we are both connected, he cannot go to certain sites that I frequent; like there is a blocker on those sites or something. It's not a virus as when I am not connected to the internet, he can then visit the websites again. Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be resolved?

My guess, is the sites are reading two attempts by the IP Address to access the site, like multi-downloading, and the site blocks this.
