Thank you for your reply. Please find my answers to your
queries after each item:

>there are several things that could cause this.
>1. are you on a domain? - if so, group policy settings
>could prevent access - contact your administrator if
this is the case.

ANS: Yes, we are on a domain. Unfortunately I am the
Administrator and I have not made any custom group policy
settings. My settings in this problematic PC are the
same with the rest of our PCs.

>this tick should be removed

ANS: We're not on VPN and no VPN icon exists in the
network connection properties.

ANS: Yes, I can ping IP address and fqdn such as
www.yahoo.com

ANS: When in LAN, we use manual and provides the IP
address, DNS and Gateway. I believe they are all valid
and have tried releasing and putting them back but same
problem. Here's the result of the ipconfig /all:

C:\>ipconfig /all
