I can ping, for instance, yahoo.com from a client machine, but internet explorer cannot find any sites. What could be the problem?

Try enabling DNS and configuring w/ your ISP DNS servers.

I can ping yahoo.com, so that would mean my DNS is working properly, right?

I had the same problem with my client machines and enabling DNS cleared it up.

I had similar problem. If you are using PPPoE protocol on your DSL connection, and client stations can't surf, the problem may be that you need to add an MTU registry key to lower the setting from the default. I'll be glad to send you a detailed email of the procedure I employed if you'd like.
