You Can Only Access Google and Some Other Internet Sites
This is a known issue with certain types of network hardware. The problem occurs on a network with multiple XP clients and one Vista client. The wireless router is a Comcast issued Netgear cable modem/router/WiFi AP all in one. The issue is specifically with the WPA encryption. Only the Vista computer cannot access the web sites other than Google. All other computers worked in all ways and the Vista box could ping anything. Only problem remains web browsing in IE and Firefox on the Vista box.
The solution is to change the encryption on the router to WEP64 and everything works fine again. The login for the Netgear branded Comcast equipment in question is comcast/1234 and the ip is 192.168.0.1.
