please help!

I'm running lion and installed windows 7 on a small partition. windows 7 runs great, but now when i'm on the mac side, there's no internet connectivity. what's really bizarre about the problem is that the wifi does connect to the router, gets a valid ip address, can ping Google successfully, but when trying to actually use the internet it doesn't work. making the problem even stranger, tethering via usb and bluetooth with my cell phone also doesn't work, and neither does connecting directly to the router via ethernet cable.

i've tried deleting all the networks from within system settings, as well as deleting all the remembered networks and reconnecting to them. resetting router/computer didn't help... i'm out of ideas, so here i am! i'd really appreciate any help!

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're able to access the internet when in Windows 7, but when you dual boot back to OS X, you can no longer access the net?
