Can ping everything, IE doesn't work

On a new installation of Windows XP Home (yuch!), IE will not reach any sites. Ping works fine, both for name and address resolution(can ping yahoo.com and 216.109.112.035) Set for automatic IP addressing, works the same way manually. ipconfig shows good IP, gateway DNS, etc. Plugged in my laptop to the same cable, got right out. Tried installing mozilla, still can't get out. This is a simple home network.
Any ideas?

It sounds like you have a software firewall on your PC that is blocking outgoing access to port 80.
