Hi Mark, welcome to G2G.
The first thing I would do is use System Restore to go back to a date a day or two before this problem occurred, see if that fixes it. To start SR, do the following:
Click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools then System Restore.
Post back if that does not help or if System Restore does not work.

Ztruker- thanks for the welcome,
Thats the first think i did and it didnt help. I even tried going back a few months and it still didnt help so i reformat my pc and that didnt even help anything.

Mark, you formatted the hard drive and did a ne3w install of XP and still have the same problem? That sounds like a hardware problem .
Have you checked Device Manager to see if there is a problem with your network card or onboard chip?
Start / Run, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter to get there.

Try the WinSockXP fix from here: http://www.snapfiles...nsockxpfix.html
May not help but should not hurt anything.
