Weird Vista Internet Issue

I just upgraded to Vista Business from Windows XP Professional. As an upgrade, all of the settings and programs were retained.

However, there is a strange internet problem. Although the system gets out to the internet (e.g. I can go to Techimo) , I am unable to go to Google or Yahoo, as examples. There may be more that I haven't tried. Yet, I am now typing here using that same system.

I also notice that my Windows 2008 server is experiencing the same problem, while another XP machine, a 2003 Server and my Mac are not having this problem. All are on the same network.

The DNS on the PCs are set for the router and the router's DNS is Opendns with my ISP's DNS as the secondary.

Any ideas?

Yes, it does ping Google from a PC that doesn't work. However, I restored back to XP and it all works great.
