Sounds like you had some negative caching somewhere, where the machine cached the fact that some URL was inaccessible. This could have happened either in the DNS components of squid, the http components of squid, or either of those in the windows box, depending on exactly how you were set up at the time. It could also have been that your squid service died for some reason, and the windows machine was pulling the pages it could from its browser cache. Another thing to check on IE is the "Work Offline" setting. Really stupid things can happen when that gets turned on.
