Check this out, you may have to release the IP from the card.
To everyone that have had this problem, I finally found

Thanks Henri and others.
I ran WINIPCFG.EXE (which for anyone else reading this, create a shortcut to
this and place it in your System Tools folder in your start menu)
Indeed my wireless card had an IP address beginning with 192. I released
that card then rebooted and viola!!!!! HP.com is now accessible!
If anyone else reads the page Henri pointed me to, they may notice they can
reach some of the pages that individual reported he couldn't access,
nevertheless, the tip still works.... simply release the IP address for
your network card and reboot, this should fix it.
Many thanks again Henri,
Dave
