| Ok, that's rback2.chcgil.sbcglobal.net...I just logged in and got an IP in the same pool as you.
ip address 68.252.254.228 (applied)
I had no issues surfing to google, google news, or blogspot. i even just logged into my gmail for the heck of it.
Whatever the problem is, it's not AT&T

1 edit | You are right. I just tried a friend's laptop. Connecting through the same wireless router, the friend's laptop can connect to (and ping) google. My laptop, as well as my wife's, cannot.
I can't find any differences in the settings. If the problem were limited to web access, I would suspect a setting in the browser, but the fact that ping works on one computer but not the other has me mystified.
Any ideas?
**Edited with One additional data point**
ipconfig /all on my wife's machine and mine both have a "host name" and "primary dns suffix" that seem to be set through work.
Friend's computer does not.
Could this be the problem? |

Could be. I don't think that I have ever seen a "Primary Dns Suffix" field populated for home users. I believe it has something to do with running a local DNS server on a LAN. The "Primary Dns Suffix" could also be related VPN, I expect...
Mine looks like this:
AFAIK, there will always be a "Host Name"; equal to whatever you named the computer when you set up the LAN (NetBIOS name).
