Able to ping server by IP address or name.

DNS is functioning correctly.
All drivers are up to date, all Vista patches are installed.

Found the solution to this issue myself. It seems that even though Norton
was uninstalled, it was still running after several reboots. I used the
norton uninstall utility at
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html to remove it, and
things worked.

Another symptom that I hadn't reported was that RDP, FTP, and everything but
HTTP wasn't working.
