Ichat works but safari, firefox, mail, and itunes can't connect

[Ibjr]

I've run into a problem. My macbook pro running 10.6.4 can no longer connect to the internet with any app but ichat. It is bizarre. I have restarted my computer, released my IP addresses, turned ip6 on and off... nothing works.

Other computers on the network have no problems.

Any ideas?

fixed it by trying to ping google. i went to get some coke, after 67 failed attempts it worked. everything is resolved. this was strange.
