This is such a weird issue I have no idea how search forums for it. I woke up
this morning and found out I couldn't access any webpage. Ok, so I did the
usual drill, command prompt and ping. Router responded. Tried a known webpage
IP. It responded. Tried to ping a webpage. IT RESPONDED! Then I tried
firefox, internet explorer, safari, filezilla, every single application that
access the internet was being forbidden to do it. I disabled firewall, no
use. Tried to renew connection, repair it, no use.. When i rebooted it went
back to normal, but does anyone have any idea what happened?
 
Oh yes, forgot to mention. I also tried to access my own IP's shares by
typing \\myipnumber. It also didn't work. I also couldnt access the shares of
the people on my network. When i rebooted it started working fine once again,
so it was not just internet, but also LAN
 
It could be 3dr party software running. For troubleshooting, start the Vista
with clean boot. please post back with the result.

I'm not the original poster, but I developed the same problem today. I did
the clean boot and am having the same problem. I can ping sites, but when I
try to visit them, I get a forbidden error.
I can access the computers on my network, and the other computers can access
websites.
