Confounded Please help

My laptop is no able to access http(port 80) however it can ping any internet server, connect to aim etc, anything but port 80. I am not runnign any firewalls, i have used a repair tool and fixed my winsock file and have also scanned for viruses and spyware using the latest definitions. Also it can access everything just fine in safe mode. I have tried using msconfig and just starting system serices and utils and no programs at all, and the internet still doesnt work so i know its not a program thats blocking me. If anyone has even the wildest ideas for fixing or even directly identifieing the problem. Thanks alot in advance.

Which OS are you running?

Windows XP Pro

You may want to give these things a try if you haven't already... Type the following at the command prompt (Start | Run | Type cmd, and click OK):

netsh winsock reset catalog (SP2 adds this new command to repair the Winsock corruption problem that's normally caused by adware, spyware, etc.)

Try the LSP fix, which you can download from here... http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

... and is this the Winsock fix you were referring to?: http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
