In Internet Explorer, check Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections

Make sure "Never dial a connection" is selected then click "LAN Settings" and make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is unchecked.

Finally, if you have IE7 (the one with tabs) then go to Tools and check that "Work Offline" isn't ticked. If you have IE6 (the one without tabs) go to File and check that "Work Offline" isn't ticked.

One other thing (although assuming you "pinged" Yahoo via it's name this won't count) - as well as an IP address, are you getting valid DNS servers?
