Following <
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314067/>, pathping works fine,
returns results for "pathping google.com", so the "internet" is up and
running, but IE7 won't display a web page. There's nothing wrong with
the TCP/IP stack.
What's a good approach to getting IE7 to load web pages? I've disabled
the windows firewall; the pc is riddled with virus's.
thanks,

ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Reboot your machine, does the problem return?.
