No webpages but have internet connection

Windows XP computer can't access or ping webpages.
its picked up the DHCP server on either wireless or wired, and i've also inputted the addresses manually.
Pinging google.com gets no reply, but pinging 64.233.167.99 does.

Tried the winsock fix and tried the XP repair connection, and neither has solved it.

any ideas?

I forgot to mention, that there are loads of other computers connected here at work and they all work fine. same router, even tried the same cable. in fact we have 2 separate networks with 2 different ISP's here at work, and it doesn't work on either of them
Its just this one.
no zonealarm, just standard XP firewall.

Oh well, just did the universal fix.

Format, reinstall.
