WPA connection only reaches certian sites?

Question

I have a wireless network and it works good except for one vista computer. Whenever I connect to my network while it's secured with WPA I can only surf to google and some other sites. When I take of the WPA protection and try connection without any security it works.( I have already tried to reinstall my driver and it didn't work. )

I don't have an answer for you, but some thoughts. When I googled the words "vista wireless wpa blocking sites," I ran across several sites mentioning that Vista was broken in regards to WPA. (These were old posts and the problems may have since been rectified.) However, they couldn't connect at all. It was not just some sites that can't be reached.

This is sort of leading me to believe that when WPA is used, it's somehow invoking something akin to NetNanny or the Vista Parental Controls. I'll be darned if I have any idea how it's tied to WPA though.

Have you upgraded your Vista to SP1 by chance?
