You can try going directly by an IP address in the address bar, for example 67.201.16.68 for flyertalk, if that works, it's the DNS settings, you are not picking up any DNS to tell the machine that flyertalk is 67.201.16.68
I have the same problem as the OP on occasion with a desktp running XP. Right clicking the wireless icon in the tray and selecting repair fixes the problem but every once in a while, for no apparnt reason, I have to "repair" again. All of the settings are correct. I've checked, re-checked, and checked again. I've resigned mself to just having to do the "repair" thing every few hours. My point is, considering what the the OP says, it doesn't seem like the DNS settings at all, since they didn't change any settingts when it started. It seems like it's just one of those Windows gremlins that we learn to live with.
