IE8 not browsing the web but will browse any internal network pages
I have a workstation that has a problem in displaying web pages from the Internet, It will browse any pages on our internal Intranet, exchange server or web interface on our router, but will not display any pages from any site outside our location. we can ping any address on the wan or resolve any site to an ip address, we can also trace route any address or web site from the command line,
The browser will display the msn home page after a while but will not move to any other page, I have tried all the fixes around to try to rectify this problem but to no avail, checked for Malware and none found, turned of the AV software.
has anyone got any idea's before i have to flatten the machine and start again with it.
I have also tried to fix the problem with the installation of Firefox but it has the same problems
Seems like the problem happens when we leave the router on our premises

Something is blocking http port 80. Check your firewall settings.
To be more helpful, try an nslookup from the command line and see if dns is resolving correctly.
nslookup www.microsoft.com = 65.55.12.249 from my location.
Check your network settings ensure that the IP, subnet mask and gateway are all set correctly.
Check your hosts file see if theres any thing in there that shouldnt be.
Is there a firewall between you and the external router? if so which one.

Nothing blocking port 80 as the internal HTTP works fine to the intranet
nslookup works fine as well get an address of 207.46.131.43 from here, and there is no firewall as i have disabled all of these to check if that its the problem, i can get the browser to display the msn home page and google home page but click a link and you get IE cannot display this page and if you type a direct url you get the same massage

Do you proxy your requests to the internet ?
Here is what I would try:
From Control Panel - Internet Options - security tab - reset all zones to default level

Found the solution by my self by trial and error and not checking DNS was correctly being issued by the DHCP
