fine.I can ping my second computer and my second compter
can ping the other 2 on the network but it will not go

Hello

Try uninstalling TCP/'IP and scan for viruses also, maybe
could TP/IP is corrupted

Reference the post below yours titled "Winsock and XP" it
gives the Microsoft Knowledge base number for the fix
(Winsock corruption). It entails deleting and importing
regisrty keys so you need to have another XP PC to be able
to get the good registry keys from to import into the PC
with the problems. Hope this helps.
 
Can you ping the router ? something else you can try is
at command promt type "tracert internetsite" (e.g tracert
www.honda.com) this will show how far the packets reach
and will give you a piont which to start resolving your
problem.

Good luck
