two thoughts--
1) I've had similar problems when it was DNS resolution. can you type
in IP addresses into Firefox or IE and have it surf properly then?
(like http://207.46.19.254/ -- microsoft homepage)
2) could there be any odd proxy settings that both IE/Firefox are
picking up somehow? seems unlikely..
guess it could always be remnants of norton causing problems..

Here's a strange one. I have an XP SP2 machine that will ping and
FTP fine, but won't surf in either IE or Firefox. It gives the
"page cannot be displayed" message. The host file is fine, I've
tried LSPFix, no change. It had NIS 2006 which was screwed up, but
even after removing it, it won't surf. Another strange thing:
Windows Security Center still thinks NIS is installed and working
fine. Any suggestions?
