Hello,
I have a laptop(windows vista ultimate) that will not connect to the internet explorer but it is able to ping other ip addresses on the network and other websites but still no internet. I have disabled all antivirus software that is running on the laptop, I also ran some virus scans on the laptop that came up with no viruses on it, I also checked my cable with my Fluke Cable testers and my CAT5E cable came up as passed. Could you PLEASE help me! Thank you.

Configuration: Windows Vista Ultimate
Internet Explorer 7.0

Hi my laptop does the same when I use my data card (but I can still use Outlook for all my email needs). when I am at home on cable and wireless it works perfect.

Use nslookup to test resolving domain name/URL, if it fails to resolve then it's DNS resolving problem. You can test to configure following free DNS servers provided by OpenDNS on your laptop, see whether it helps.
