    very very odd network problem

    I'm PUZZLED, read below please
    -every now and then IE and Firefox are unable to browse websites (as though there is no connection... loading any website will immediately fail)
    -When this happens, other internet-bound programs continue to work fine (i listen to live stream of music, and i continue to chat online)
    -Pinging certain popular websites like yahoo and google fails (cannot find host), while certain websites that I have visited recently ping fine.
    -While pinging yahoo.com on my computer fails, I tried to use the router ping utility and it seemed to work fine
    -so far i have only noticed this problem with the HTTP protocol
    -the problem usually goes away within a minute.... sometimes happens again within 5 minutes!


    -I'm on wireless G, using a Linksys WRT54G router.
    -I'm thinking this can't be a wireless interference, because otherwise other applications would fail as well
    -I was also thinking that the router might be messing up with it's DNS cache, but that couldn't be the case either, because the router's ping tool works and windows ping on my computer doesn't work for certain websites


    ANY ideas?
