Stuck with "local only" connection, but can ping remote hosts

Stuck with "local only" connection, but can ping remote hosts

I have four computers in a local wired/wireless network, and one of them suddenly lost Internet connectivity yesterday. All of the other computers are connected to the same router and have no problems. The three others can connect to the faulty one's web server as well as remote desktop into it, and the faulty computer can connect to the other three. The faulty computer can ping google.com, etc., as well as resolve domain names. However, if I try to make an actual TCP connection to any Internet-based server (e.g. google.com), it just hangs and times out. It also fails to connect if I use an IP address.
