Cannot access websites, but can still ping them :s
OS: Windows Vista Business Edition, up to date with all patches.
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core T2130
RAM: 2Gb
Wireless Adapter: Dell 1390 WLAN MiniCard using the 4.102.15.57 driver
----------------------------------------------------
Firstly, Hello everyone :)
I have been having a very annoying problem with my Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop, which I have had for ~2 months, over the past few weeks.
The Laptop uses a 1390 WLAN MiniCard, and I can be using the internet for a few hours, when it suddenly, for no reason, refuses to work.
By this I mean that web sites will no longer load, on both Opera and Internet Explorer, giving me a timed out error message. However, I am always connected to IRC, and can still talk to, and receive messages from the channels I was connected to at the time my internet "died".
Another wierd thing is that if I go to command prompt, using the ping command I can ping any website I was having problems connecting to with no problems- www.google.co.uk, www.bbc.co.uk all respond, as does the router.
The Network icon in the system tray is adament that I am still connected to the network, with internet access, and the Windows Network repair finds no problems with the connection.
Disabling and Enabling the adapter through Windows, Flicking the adapter off and on using the Fn + F2 shortcut, "repairing the connection", flushing the dns cache using ipconfig /flushdns do not work- I have to restart the Laptop.
It is ONLY this Laptop that is having problems- There are 4 other computers on the network, 2 of them on wireless, and none are having the same connectivity issues as me.
Please help me... it is extremely annoying!

Unfortunately it is hard for me to try it in networking mode, as it only happens about once a night, and im on the laptop 24/7- I'm not spending a whole night in safe mode.
Is there anything other ideas?
Tries ipconfig /flushdns, as well as /release and /renew, disabling and enabling the adapter, closing and opening all browser windows, putting laptop into sleep and then resuming- but it needs a restart :
