I have no issues using my iphone or other devices that are wirelessly connected to the same network, however my Windows 7 machine is unable to resolve the url.
For example:
ping www.google.ca results in a timeout but pinging the same IP address directly, works fine.
I can also use IP addresses in the browser and that also works.
There is nothing wrong with the DNS server being used (default from my provider) as my other devices that are also connected via WiFi without any further customizations of proxies.
I have tried rebooting the router
I have tried rebooting the Window 7 box(which seems to be default fix for Windows issues)
I have tried ipconfig /renew, nothing..
Here is the content of ipconfig /all
C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig /all

Any suggestions? It seems to me that I need to do something on Windows to unblock this. I have already disable the Windows Firewall (the only one that is installed). Anything else I can check?
