I can connect to my house's wireless network just fine, but when I'm connected I can't browse the web. Firefox starts connecting to a site and then just poops out. This doesn't happen on my roommates' computers (running Windows) or on our 3DSes, so I know it's just my laptop.

I already tried

sudo dhclient -r 
sudo dhclient
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 up

Results of a few commands I was asked to run in comments:

ping -c 2 4.2.2.2
PING 4.2.2.2 (4.2.2.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
