"Server not found" Help

[Agronis]

My desktop is refusing to load any websites. Its connected to the internet just fine, but something is preventing it from loading websites.

I can ping any website without a moments delay, I can update any software clientside.. etc

Just firefox/IE wont load anything..

I've tried the winsock fix, along with flushing my dns..

Reinstalled both browsers..

Tell me what to do

Running XP Pro sp2.

You don't state which versions of FF or IE you are running or the exact error message.

So I'll guess at what might be helpful and just say start here with this link to check IE7 for the problem.
