Is your wife's PC running Windows or FreeBSD?

Can your wife's PC ping your PC?
    If not then that is the first problem to solve.
Can your wife's PC ping an outside address given as numbers?
  (Like ping -c 4 18.7.22.69)
  If she can ping by number address but not by host name then the 
problem is her DNS
  configuration.
  If she can't ping by number address and you can then your PC is not 
forwarding
  things correctly - I've done that before but I don't remember all the 
details.

The more information you can give us the more likely we will be able to 
help.
