Question
Vista unable to browse the web

This is an odd one. My neighbor shares my wireless network and for some reason cannot browse any web sites as of last night. He has a solid wireless connection and is able to browse devices on the WLAN/LAN but can't actually get to any site when he opens either Firefox or IE7. DNS works because I can do nslookups and ping out. There is nothing in the hosts file except the localhost IPv4 and IPv6 entries. I checked that the firewall is allowing both IE and Firefox out and I also disabled it just to see if it was acting wonky. I'm out of ideas of what it could be
