Assuming that all of your IP info is correct (gateway,dns settings etc), are you able to ping anything outside (by IP)? Do the machines have connectivity with each other?

I had the same problem. None of the http stuff would work unless I put it through my ISP's proxy. What I ended up doing was resetting my gateway and everything seemed to work after that. Not exactly sure how it fixed it though, or maybe it was a fluke. Still, its something to try.

EDIT. damn! posted right as you posted the fix!

yes restarting everything seemed to do the job .
