Vista connects to Domain but not to internet

Tags: Microsoft, Vista Ultimate
I have seen this problem now on three different work stations-- all running Vista. The other two I think I got lucky and was able to restore the connection but not 100% sure what fixed it. Note all three are connected to the LAN and not the wireless.

I now have a machine that I cant fix and I have tried everything I can think of.

IPCONFIG /Release
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS
IPCONFIG /RENEW

Restart

Can see entire Domain. I can access all shared drives and intranet. If I go to network connections I have a big red X between domain and the World Globe. I click on it and it doesnt fix anything.

All my other machines are XP and do not have any issues like this.

One thing I did notice, our DNS server had two records for two different machines with the same IP address. I went ahead and deleted both entries and registered his machine back on the network. His DNS record is now listed-- i thought that may have been the problem but not fixed yet.
