DNS woes

[datadan]

Don't know what else to try:

Statically assigned IP.
Can ping internal network.
ipconfig /all reveals proper DNS and routing information. (Same as other computers).

Can ping

http://www.google.com

Can ping

http://www.yahoo.com

Cannot bring

http://www.google.com

&

http://www.yahoo.com

up on browser.

No firewall. (personal or company)
No filters. (personal or company)
No host file or host.sam entries.

Have tried both IE and Mozilla.

No luck. What else can I try?

Thanks,

winsock was the problem.

This site got me through it.

well i'm very glad you found the solution on your own. lol
it will help you more in the end than us telling you what to do. but i got a quick tip here. whenever you do a ping and you can ping url's it usually can be either internet explorer ( or any browser) or winsocks and tcp/ip, or ssl. take care
