Question : Browser not able to find web sites but computer can ping sites

I have a windows XP Pro PC with networking issues. The network adaptor picks up an IP address correctly and in a command line I can ping other computers on the network and internet sites such as google. But through a web browser (IE and Firefox) I can't get to any web site - get the standard page not found type message. Also Network places on the computer can't 'see' any other computer on the network. It appears to be free of viruses (has NOD32 installed and also checked with Malware Bytes).

I've tried a windows repair but that made no difference.

Any ideas?

thanks
Paul

Answer : Browser not able to find web sites but computer can ping sites

Then, the morning after the cut off date, run this script, and it will read the text file and disable the accounts.
