Sounds like your DNS settings are incorrect. The server should only look
to itself for DNS with forwarders set for Internet Access. Workstations
should only look to the server for DNS.

My workstations are setup with dynamic ips, gateway is my firewall, dns goes
to my server
my server dns is pointing to itself.
all other workstsations can access the internet, just this one machine,
checked winsock, recreated registry entries, tcp ip fix
wierd thing is it can ping the server but no public ips, like the firewall
drops it

Then I don't know. Try clean-boot troubleshooting it:
Clean Boot - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=310353
and How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows XP -

You'll have to find out what is different about this particular machine.

Jen,

Did you ever solve your problem? I am having a similar issue. I took my
old hard drive and put it into a new machine with new MOBO and memory and
processor. Went through WinXP repair procedure and everything came up fine
and started working. Loaded all drivers for new hardware on the MOBO,
including for the onboard LAN. Now I cannot connect to the internet. I can
ping local host with no problem. "Sometimes" I can ping my router gateway.
Even had one time when the router DHCP actually assigned me a IP address.
Two other computers on the network are accessing internet just fine. When I
launch the browser, all I get is a 404 page error. IPCONFIG at command
prompt will usually show a 169 IP address assigned by the computer although
on occasion it will indicate a router assigned 192 address. Any attempt to
renew will get an error message, of different types, usually talking about
trying to access a winsock that is not there. Any suggestions?
