Pinging a site outside your ISP means the basics are all working.

When you checked ipconfig/all, besides the IP address was anything else
different? If it's the same ISP connection the DNS/Subnet mask/Gateway
should be the same. Generally only IP address and MAC address are
different.

You shouldn't need IP Routing and won't need WINS Proxy, or WINS server.

IP Routing is used when you have a PC multihomed with 2 network cards
and you need traffic to cross from 1 connection through the PC to the
other connection. As in System#2 on the disgram
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/w2kprout.html

WINS Proxy (WINS) is a MS name server that is similar to DNS. Where as
DNS converts an IP address to / from it's DNS name. WINS does the same
thing for NetBIOS names.

For example, my PC -
IP public address is set by my ISP.
DNS public name is set by my ISP.

PC NetBIOS local name is set by me. MS Networking takes care of that. On
a larger scale, say 1000's of PC at the office a WINS server maps
NetBIOS names to IPs.

try a traceroute to something like your ISPs gateway or mai server. Use
the IP address rather than names.
