Cannot connect to Internet/OUTSIDE sites via Domain name or IP
Okay, this is a quite strange problem. I have a computer (windows XP) and I am able to receive an IP address from our firebox (firewall). I can ping the gateway, other PCs on the network, even outside domain names such as google for example. I get a response from all machines, but When I attempt to connect to a internet site I get a blank white page on IE and firefox. Any ideas?
i tried to access the sites by both IP and domain name.

Actually that is fine and I have checked all the above mentioned things already. Actaully I figured it out myself. It was something wrong with winsock.
To fix it I had to run the following command at a command prompt.
netsh winsock reset
then reboot my machine. After that all worked well! Couldn't believe it. Anyways, since I answered the question, I will award points to whoever can answer the question of what exactly was the problem given that was the solution as well as what could have caused it.
Thanks for your input so far though guys!
