I don't really have any idea, but if the Windows laptop has no problem 
browsing the web on the same line then I highly doubt it's either the 
service or a virus.  Have you tried any other network services on the 
Mac besides web browsing?  Try pinging my server (66.92.66.20), for 
instance.  There's probably some setting on the Mac that needs to be 
changed (like the gateway IP address or something), but once I got the 
network connection up on my Mac I completely forgot what was involved, 
so I can't help you much there.

Good luck!
