I can surf the web using firefox, and ie, however any of my other

on my lan connection. If it was just one program, I would think it was
the program, however it is 4 different programs, so it has to be in
the pc somewhere, I just don't know where.

The question is, what are the other programs doing to the web? IE and Firefox only use HTTP port on the internet. If you were using FTP, it's possible your router is blocking FTP ports. It would be odd to have everything but HTTP blocked but, it is possible all the same.
