For some reason the past day or so I have been unable to access anything that is internet related except for pinging google. It says that my computer is connected to the internet and I am able to both send and receive packets. My computer is the only one in my house that is acting up. I was using my PS3 fine wirelessly last night, and I am currently using a computer that is directly connected. I also tried using on an ethernet cable on my laptop and got no service. There are 3 other wireless computer in my house that are working fine. I have tries ipconfig /release and ipconfig /reset. I have also tried netsh winsock reset. None of these were able to fix it. Here are the specs and test results for my computer.

Specs:
HP Pavillion dv9400
AMD 64 x2 TL-64
2.00 GB RAM
2.2 GHz
Widows Vista Home Premium

ipconfig results:

Re-install / update the network card driver would be my first guess. Have you also tried repairing the connection? (Network connections > right click on the connection that you use > hit repair.
 
I really haven't got much idea about why this happens, a few days ago my internet kinda just cut out too.
After a while (like a day or so) it was suddenly back! And here's the really strange part, if I went into My Computer and typed 'google.com' into the address bar there, the internet would be strangley restored, all sites accessible again. But if I closed the browser it'd be gone again until I tried from My Computer again.
So, just for ***** and giggles, try from the address bar in My Computer and see if there is any difference

Apart from that, can you ping any other sites? e.g. not just google?
