Can ping it all wirelessly, but no pages in IE

[jbraly]

I cant wait 2 hours for dell to figure this one out so I will submit to
the brains of real computer people, not just paper A+ certs that Dell
hires...

I have a Dell Latitude D510. Windows XP Pro.

It is one of about 10 of a laptop cart here in my office.

They connect to my network via a netgear wireless access point
(802.11B/G).

9 of the 10 laptops connect to the network and internet fine, except
one.

This one, when logged on locally, can ping addresses (i.e.
www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, ect) and can ping thier IP addresses.

This one can also ping local servers and computers and surf the network
looking at computers and files, etc...

It can do all of that, but cant get a page on the internet.

Now, this same computer, when plugged into a CAT5 connection, can do it
all, including see websites via IE.

So, given that, I eliminate IE as the problem.

But, the fact that it pings everything when wireless makes me NOT think
it is the wireless adapter...

any clues? Thanks in advance!

problem solved.
one of our computer teachers got in the firewall to configure some of
his computers to be denied access to the internet. He put in the ip
address of this laptop by mistake I guess... all is fine now.
