Can connect to Internet but can't open any site ?

I'm using Windows 2003 Server. Now I'm really confused that why I can connect to Internet but I can't open any website. I tried to repair the internet connection but all ok. I used the command "ping" to the Google site and the result was : Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again. Please anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix this ? Thanks.

From the command line, type
ping127.0.0.1
ensure local connectivity is good..

then
nslookup -A google.com
This will ensure the DNS is correct...

then
pathping google.com
to see where the point of failure is.

Please post any results here...

The hostnames are definately not resolving, though it looks like the traffic is going off net okay.

Can you post the results of an ipconfig /all ?

How is the server configured? I.e. is this functioning as a DNS server or Domain Controller itself? Check that the DNS services are running by looking in the services manager, and also check the event log for any messages pertaining to the DNS services.
I have checked that the DNS service is running and here is the ipconfig :
