It seems I have a similar problem. I can see an earth on the connection icon
in Windows tray. I can ping any site without a problem (tried Google, yahoo,
....). However, when I use IE, it says there is no network connection. When I
use FireFox, it says the server cannot be found for all sites I have tried.
One thing strange is this is a new computer. I was able to surf web after I
installed the LinkSys adapter. However, after I started Windows Firewall and
user control, I cannot browse the web any more even after I removed the
firewall. I still can ping any site but cannot browse the web. I have Vista
64 OS.
