New wireless setup - unable to connect to certain sites

    I've just set up a wireless connection at home this week using a Belkin G router through BT.

    The connection speeds seem ok so far but there are certain sites that I can't seem to connect to. There are 3 of us in the house and none of us can connect to Bebo, myspace or hotmail (the status bar at the bottom just freezes when we try to load these page)

    As none of us can access these sites with any of our computers and the sites can be accessed when I connect through dial-up, I'm presuming the problem lies with my router security settings or ISP (though I'm presuming BT would go out of business overnight if people couldn't access these sites).

    Can anyone suggest where I might start in trying to fix this problem?

    Thanks

    Is it only those 3 sites that you've noticed? Clarify: Does it access any part of the site (i.e. The frontpage, but not the login, etc?)
    What are the results of ping and traceroute: (Assuming windows):
    Start -> run -> cmd
    Then: ping www.bebo.com --copy & paste output here
    Then: tracert www.bebo.com --copy & paste output here

    Have you checked for any URL filtering or firewall on the router? What is the model of the router?
