Wireless Local and Internet connection but not web browsing

[foxgoku]

I have many wired and wireless connections through my router going out to the
internet with NO problem at all. For instance, I have a vista wired machine,
an xp wired machine, a few xp wireless connections, and varied gaming
platforms. With a new HP laptop I got running vista, I get the windows
indication that I have both local and internet connection, however, when I go
to brows like to this site I get either "address not valid" or "explorer
cannot open this page." With this same machine, I can perform pings to
anything I should be able to. ALL of my other connections work fine. I have
tried both static and DHCP with no help. Any suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks.

It could be a security software blocks the Internet access. Or this search
result may help.

Thanks for the try but that doesn't help either. I have also tried firefox,
and that doesn't work either.

For troubleshooting, try to start the computer with clean boot.
