User Account internet connection problem

I have 4 user accounts on my PC. My account is set as Administrator and works
fine connects to the net no problem. The other three are my wife and two
daughters accounts. One is set to Admin the others set to limited. None of
these accounts will connect to the net. I can get a ping reading from these
accounts so I know they are seeing my router, but they just won't connect or
receive e-mail. I get a "Cannot Find Server" message on all three accounts. I
just can't figure this out as my account is fine and does all it should. Any
help please would be great, as I am getting frustrated by this and the wife
and kids are on my back about it
Thanks in advance.

Open "Network Connections" folder, and run the "add a new connection" wizard, setting it to be default, and share with all users.
(or)
Rightclick the connection icon in the 'Network Connections' folder Properties, Networking tab, TCP/IP protocol properties, General
tab, Advanced button, General tab, select "use default gateway on remote network".
