[Help!] Cannot connect to the internet

[azuro]

Don't know what happened to my computer. Both IE and Firefox couldn't connect to the internet. However, I can ping the loopback address, address of my router, and other websites (ie: google.com) addresses. I can also connect my computer from my laptop (mapped network drive). Other than that, Internet Explorer, Firefox, MSN, and AntiVirus update service couldn't connect to the internet. Anyone know what happened?

DNS problem is normally the first guess for this, but you say you can sucessfully ping google.com correct?

Next up would be doing spyware and virus sweeps.

if he can ping a name like google.com then it's not DNS

Reread the line I wrote - I said it's normally the first guess and asked him to confirm that he can ping by name.
