Getting a valid IP, but cannot ping anything

Was getting a TON of pop-ups, so ran adaware whcih stopped the pop-ups, but now I
cannot get to the internet. So I tried pinging my ISP's default gateway and their
DHCP server; both result in "Request timed out". Called Comcast, and they everything
is good from their end. So I took the machine to my office and I'm getting a valid
IP from my router, but cannot ping the router or anything else on the network.
The PC had a couple of trojans which NAV Corporate Edition removed, so I have up
to date virus defs. In addition to running adaware and finding 251 objects and removing
them, I tried new NIC, uninstalling and reinstalling TCP/IP, uninstalling and reinstalling
the Communications component through Control Panel, deleting the Winsock entries,
updating to W98 SE, ran Regclean, ran the LSP fix, ran the Shredder (removed a variant
of the CWS parasite), ran HijackThis! which turned up a clean logfile.
This PC had Cyber Patrol and Zone Alarm installed on it which was removed some time
ago, but I found a bunch of threads in the registry that still references these programs.
I removed them, but I'm sure there's still some references to them in the CLSID
keys in the registry. (?)
Any thoughts? Comments???

If Zone Alarm is not uninstalled properly it will block port 80, thus no internet
communication. Of coarse this is just a can happen senario:Uninstall
Zone Alarm under Win98

Thanks, Ron. That was it. As soon as I deleted some of the .dll and .vxd files
associated with Zonealarm (vsdata95.vxd in particular), and then deleted the proper
registry entries, I was able to get online. Thanks so much for your help.
