Is your machine working as DNS on windows ???
If not then better change the DNS IP to the DNS provided by ISP instead of your machines IP. His machine just need your machine as gateway.

this scheme has a drawback:it uses maximum bandwidth for resolution of names requested by my friend's machine.so on server i get very low bandwidth and annoying browing experience.can anyone help me suggesting a better scheme?

there is nothing wrong in the scheme. Problem may be with the DNS IP address. Ask your ISP about the DNS IP's and put them there.
