Probably a corrupted winsock.dll. I have had this problem for months with one machine and have checked every setting, service, connection, adapter, etc. in my system. I found online detailed troubleshooting and it describes these exact symptoms. XP has built-in winsock.dll repair routine. Don't have data here at office but online search will disclose. It works.
