Thanks for the help "TheRav"........... after uninstalling Kazaa and New.NET........ page that I wanted to surf to was PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED.... sites could be pinged with IP address and IPCONFIG info was correct.
IPCONFIG /flushdns didn't help.
Went to another system running XP that could browse and exported the key for winsock2 from the registery and then back to my system, deleted the key and then imported it. (remember to back up your registery). Without rebooting I was able to browse..... just had to restart the explorer.
I would suggest that you reboot though.
