Welcome to TIMO.

I've had problems with being able to connect to the internet and not being able to surf, ping etc. It had to do with the TCP/IP settings in the registry. The culprit program was new.net (which is installed with Gator). Removing Gator may have messed up the TCP/IP settings in the registry.

I found an article in the MS knowledge base that seems unrelated but it shows how to remove the TCP/IP settings directly from the registry. Some steps won't apply but it does get rid of the default TCP/IP settings.

I've used this technique many times when a dial up connection or high speed connection is made and can't do anything in the i-net.
