So you tried it at the hotel and it worked, then you tried it somewhere else and it did not, then you tried it where you are now and it still does not work?
Next step is to plug it in with an Ethernet cable and see if it still does it.

I was under the impression that there were a few reserved IP adresses that could ping various levels, including the port in the PC.
Don't beat me up! I'm just fairly sure I read something along those lines.
Found this which I think pings the internal stuff in your PC without looking outside.

Hope this is of some help.

Following Labqueens PM a few recommendations and questions.
1. Have you tried Firefox (or Opera or IE7 if Firefox was already your browser)
2. She mentioned you cannot access Facebook either, Facebook does not use HTTPS unless you make it, and I presume by your asking for help here you don't run greasemonkey scripts to make Facebook use it's SSL cert. Can you confirm that you also do not have access to some sites which are not HTTPS.
3. What is the exact error message you are getting when it fails.

need to know the facts.

you needto see what you can and can't get. I have had it when it worked fine in a hostspot and then went to facebook and it died on me then couldn't get onto anything after until i reconnected, may be the hub side.
As I said the ports are different for HTTPS and there are also other ports associated with setting up the connections, again if you can get etherreal running it may show you where the connections are breaking down, but can be difficult.
So far it has been HTTPS then facebook then okay at some place and then not, I assume your Virus scan is upto date and scanned and same for updates with the few new vulnerabilites going around? I have also had updates kill my connection until the updates complete which can take a good 5 minitues or so especially if the conection is affected by cordless phones.
Awkward as there are millions of things it can be it really needs more specific info.
you also never told us what the error says from what i could see?

Thanks for all the replies. Loaded up Firefox last night as I could access non https. Done the trick quite nicely and all ok through it. Still curious as to why IE wont let me through though. (LQ, we connected through a dongle in the hotel).
Cheers guys and some wonga heading to the pot.

old laptop
I have just dug out my old laptop XP and tried connecting with a wi/fi dongle and i had a very similar problem could connect to MSN but then connection died despite saying connected and excellent, even my kaspersky virus scan was downloading updates but stupidly slowly and could ping router, could not clear DNS when tried repairing connection, wife was fine on the other laptop. connected up with cable and bang updates straight through? back on wireless now and working fine? Think I am going to ditch it for AVG again!!!!!
Glad you back on.
