Windows xp can not connect to the internet or ping a host name.

Verify default gateway on nic's tcp/ip properties. And, please, give more details about network configuration, maybe there is a firewall or something...

Start a command prompt, type ipconfig/all and paste the result here.

Okay, you can ping the LAN, that means your NIC (network interface card) is working.  I am assumming that you have your computer setup to automatically obtain ip addresses.  The next logicall check would be to check your router... is it setup to allow your computer to connect.   Please also run a spyware scan, this has been an issue for many of my clients.  ~a8le~

Static Ip address, Gateway ok , Correct DNS, Router OK, ran both S&D and adaware. Using DUN I can connect to the ISP but can not browse the internet either.

can you ping a public ip like 4.2.2.1? if not, post the routing table here. this step by step troubleshotting may help, http://www.howtonetworking.com/Internet/internetaccess0.htm

Again, if you can ping the lan, please make sure that your gateway, router, or both are configured right.

Yes I can ping public Ip address.
  Static Ip address, Gateway ok , Correct DNS, Router ok

Were does the oy with two dots above it come from?

what site are you pinging?  oy, is either a foreign language, a computer name or something spyware related.

ipconfig /all?

any site I ping the oy is in place of the IP Address in the first line.
ipconfig /all

everthing is correct.

I have had this same problem in the past on another machine. I found the fix with a google search
I had to uninstall the networking and reinstall it but I was not able to find it this time. with xp you can't uninstall the networking without going thru alot of steps the netsh on xp does not really reintall everything.

Can't help if I don't see the ipconfig /all response.

Uninstall IPV6.

Or, if not installed, there is a problem with the winsock, some libraries have been damaged. Run

sfc /scannow

The sfc finished with out asking for the CD IPV6 is not installed

I think you can't repair without uninstalling and reinstalling the network. Or, try again the winsockfix, the XP version, and netsh winsock refresh.

Got it fixed here is what I did.

 



Click Start >Run >regedit {enter}
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock and delete it
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2 and delete it
Exit Regedit and reboot.

To install TCP/IP over itself (to do this you need a copy of nettcpip.inf  There is one on the Windows XP CD and there may be one on your hard drive)

Right click "My Network Places" select Properties.
Right click the connection and select Properties.
Click Install >Protocol >add >have disk
Browse to the location of nettcpip.inf  (see above)
Select TCP/IP click OK
Reboot

That's good!

Great!
