XP SP2 Internet Conneciton Not Working SERIOUS!
I cannot connect to the internet using IE6, IE7, Firefox, or AOL. I can only access the internet if I am in Safe Mode with Networking. I have tried the following below with no luck. What could be causing this? I can ping outside domains and ip addresses with no problem. This OS is XP SP2.

What error you see? Page can not display? or else?

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage (in IE7)

In Firefox it says, "Unable to connect". "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com"
In IE7, can you reset all security to default see if it helps.
You might have shutdown all firewall, if you use firewall in router, shut it down as well.

IE7 security is at default and there is no problem with firewall in router. Remember I can access the internet throught the PC if I am in SAFE MODE with NETWORKING.
I suggest that if you could do a system restore back to sometime the system was known working. Try that see if it helps.
Run spyware, anti-virus, also turn back on services in Msconfig / service.

This is a client's PC and the reason it is messed up is because they had someone else work on it. There are no restore points. There has got to be a reason why I can access the internet in Safe Mode but not in regular mode.
Check Event Viewer see if you can locate some issue?

Try opening up your control panel, click "Network Connections", right-click the connection you're using, click "Properties" and tell me what items you see and what is checked or unchecked under the "This connection uses the following items:" section.
Also, try SuperAntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/downloadfile.html?productid=SUPERANTISPYWAREFREE). I think it has a internet connections repair utility.

Even though I thought I turned off everything from Symantec apparently there was still something running. I uninstalled all of the Symantec software that was on the machine and now I can get to the internet. I split the points because the solutions were similiar in nature. Thanks to all of you for your help. I hated to even think of doing an install without finding out what the real problem was. Thank you, thank you!
Your welcome. Norton's is especially notorious for not letting go of your computer.
