My first reaction is did you use the IP address in the ping command (I usually do) while using the resolved name (msn.com) in the browser?  If so then your problem is with your DNS (Domain Name Server) configuration.  Check out my video on changing DNS.

go to here and click on the DNS tutorial:

Check your browser settings and look for the proxy configuration (depending on your browser), and try to clear it.

Sounds like you're using a company laptop or something that's enforcing a proxy server that's not reachable from your home.
