No internet connection, can ping fine

Question

I have multiple devices (Windows 7 PC, Windows Vista laptop, Macbook Air and two phones) at home and a Linksys router. Only Windows 7 PC can't connect to the internet, every other device is fine. More info:

• tried multiple browsers (Chrome and IE). Neither works.
• disabling firewall. Didn't help.
• turning router on/off.
• restarting PC.
• disconnecting and reconnecting all the wires.
• ping google.com: all packets sent and received succesfully.
• browsing straight via IP. No success.
• connecting to my work VPN. Success, can browse. Actually doing that right now.
• ipconfig /all:

Answer 1

Based on the fact that you can access pages through the VPN, and pinging works, but not browsing through IE or Chrome, I am inclined to believe something is wrong with the proxy/VPN settings as Chrome relies/copies/uses Internet Explorer's settings.

Click the Start Orb and then in the search box type as much of Internet Options as you need for it to come in to the search, then click on it.

Go to the Connections tab, and click on LAN Settings, untick Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections)., also make sure Automatically detect settings is ticket and Use automatic configuration script is unticked.

If this doesn't work, let me know as I have a few other ideas - however, I believe that this is the most likely cause.
