Setup:
4 computers, 3 using ME, 1 using XP. Two connected on a hub, which connects to a LinkSys 4-port/Wireless G router. Two connects directly to the router. Router connects to a Verizon DSL modem.

Problem:
XP machine (1 of the workstations connected to the hub) cannot load webpages. The funny thing is, I can log on Trillian, AIM, Yahoo! messenger (but not MSN), and chat fine. I can ping and use tracert websites fine. It just will not load the webpages (like Hotmail etc). Browsers I tried include IE, Netscape, and Amaya. The other computers on the network have no problem with web browsing or the network.

I can also view the network/files/printers fine on this workstation.

I have checked the DNS's, DHCP is on automatic (IP is not static), and I even went to the trouble of running Winsockfix.exe in case something happened with the winsock.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else to check, what to look for, or otherwise an idea of what may be the problem?

Thanks in advanced
