Networking Issue with Microsoft Windows XP Home

A users laptop has come into my office with a particularly unusual
problem.
It cant connect to any website, even though the proxy settings are
correct. When I attempt to connect to any website I get "The page
cannot be displayed". I am able to "ping" machines connected to the
LAN (by name and IP address) and even connect to them via Windows
sharing. I am also able to "ping" the machine in question from my
workstation. I can ping websites if i know the IP address but not by
name(when I do I get the following error "Ping request could not find
host ???. Please check the name and try again.")... I also done a
"tracert" but this failed and stopped at the first hop.
I have tried numerous things one of which was suggested by my
colleagues which was to delete the "hosts" file which I have done but
it has not made any difference.
I would say it was a DNS issue that only seems to be affecting this
machine, but I don't know exactly what the problem is.
Any and all suggestions will be helpful.
