Unhappy Can connect to router, networked comps, but not DNS

OK, I am stumped. I have 4 computers at home. Three of them are connected via wire and work great. My other PC runs XP and wireless. I can connect to my router fine. I can access shared folders on my network fine. I cannot connect to the DNS server (same # as the wired machines or auto) and therefore, cannot connect to the internet. I tried pinging the DNS and have no luck. I have called Netgear (WPN311 adapter, WPN824 access point, FVS114 router) and Comcast with no satisfaction. I have also disabled windows firewall and McAfee firewall with no difference. I have used netgear's software and windows zero config with no difference. According to either the netgear utility (95%) or WZC (4 out of 5 bars) I have very good signal. Netgear has about 4 different versions of their driver for the WPN311 and I have tried them all. The AP (WPN824) has the latest firmware loaded on it from netgear's website. Anything else I can try or do I just live without the internet on this PC? I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of!!!
