TCP/IP isnt the problem in this case since you are able to
ping pong your gateway and other websites. Your IE is
messed up ( I think..) Are you able to connect to other
applications that use internet? like MSN messenger or
yahoo messenger. Are you able to download files from FTP
servers? There is no DNS problem either since you are able
to ping the website using its address.
try reinstalling IE.
