Website Found Waiting for Reply

I have a weird problem that started about 3 weeks ago. I have 3 computers
on a home network. They are all running windows xp pro SP2. One of them
can no longer access the internet using a browser. I have tried IE, FireFox
and Opera. I just get Website Found Waiting for Reply... then it times
out. I can ping the websites just fine. I also get updates for my virus
program and can use RDC to access my clients computers via the internet. I
have tried new network cards, router ports, turning off all firewalls even
doing a repair of windows install to try to fix this. The other computers
on the network work fine without any issues. Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA

I have not installed or done anything other than Windows Security Updates.
I tried that prior to the repair install. It kept telling me that windows
was unable to restore to my system restore point. I just tried it again to
see if the reinstall made a different and got the same message.

Thanks for the suggestion.
