Cannot Access Internet in Normal Mode only Safe Mode

I am having difficulty getting onto the Internet with IE Explorer 7.0 on Window XP Home edtion.
The only way that I can make the connection is by logging on in "safe mode with internet access" and signing on as the "administrator".
Now I upgraded to IE 7.0 since I was having difficulty with IE 6.0 and DNS errors with shdoclc.dll and I couldn't get on at all. I think this system had been hijacked. I ran Hijackthis, RegCure, Avast and Adaware to no avail.
Can you help here?

Could you post the HJT log?

Also, if you open a command prompt, can you please do the following....

ipconfig /all
(and paste the output here)

ping google.com         What happens, does it time out or receive 100% of replies?

Ping 151.164.11.201  Does it get 4 replies?

Sorry I don't know what  the HJT log refers to; where can Ii find it?
Also I did  the ipconfig /all but don't know how to capture it to this message.

What was the fix that worked?

Johnb6767 was almost there with the  SP2 firewall.
But Orangutang forced me to look at a Norton Firewall too since I had already disabled the Windows firewall. I simply removed Norton Security package ( coudn't turn off firewall) (Symantec strikes again!!!)
Many thanks to both of you. Box works fine now :)
