IE and Firefox will not connect to web sites but connected to internet

I have two laptops here that will not connect to websites. I punch an address in the address bar and I get a cannot connect page.

One both I have disabled firewalls, antivirus, antispy programs. I have reset the IP stack, flushed DNS, etc. I have reset IE back to default, I have even cleaned the registry(644 errors) and all to no avail. One laptop is formatting now since there was nothing on it to backup, but the other is full and formatting is only a last resort.

The funny thing is that if I use the command line to ping a website, I get a response back with the IP address. I am baffled here......Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
