Makes me wonder if someone somewhere set up a proxy for web access or some wierd firewall rules and neglected to remove it.  At first I thought you had a connection to the router only but your later tests showed you truly DO have access to the internet.  Just maybe not certain kinds of access.

Bryan,

From terminal I am able to ping the loopback, local machine, an iMac on my system, the router, 4.2.2.2, and news.google.com.  

Also when I put in the gateway address to the router in Firefox I can bring up the router admin page.

So I don't think it is the braodcom card.  

I sent the following $ ping -c4 ip-address, and each time I get back 

  4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time (ranged from 29 ms to 3034 ms)

a typical line: " 64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=30.5 ms "

???

Few things. 1) Disable IPv6. 2) try IP only connections. First try
pinging the loopback, then the address of the local box, the the
gateway, then another machine on the network then an external site,
like 4.2.2.2 Then try using a name like news.google.com. This will
tell you where things get mucked up.
Let us know the results and we can help further.
