DNS Issue or some thing else?

[blin2000]

XP laptop with D-link 650 wireless has been working fine until yesterday.

Symptoms: 1. At home with Linksys cable modem and D-link wireless router,
the laptop can ping any public IPs but not web sites and IE gets "The page
cannot be displayed". Nslookup shows "DNS request timed out. timeout was 2
seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 63.240.76.4:
Timed out, DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 204.127.198.4: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 63.240.76.4"

2. At home, other wired or wireless computers don't have this problem.
3. If using other wired or wireless NICs on the same laptop, it works at
home.
4. In the office LAN with Cisco router, the same laptop with the same
wireless NIC, it also works.

What have been done: 1. try to logon another user.
2. ipconfig /lushdns or stop/start DHCP Client service to Purges the DNS
Resolver cache.
3. Apply SP.
4. No firewall and run MSConfig to limit software running.
5. Reset cable modem and router.
6. Remove and re-install NIC with latest drive.
7. I have tried to assign static ip, gateway and DNS (even different DNS).

Still the same problem. Any suggestions?

I would definitely suspect the DNS servers. I don't suppose you can try another ISP's DNS servers?

Try this server: 4.2.2.2 (I think the last octet can be 1,2 or 3, but not sure). I think this is Digital's old DNS (Now AT&T), but I might be mistaken. Anyways, that's the server I usually use instead of my ISP's which is too slow too update.
