On my computer, the issue was being able to ping 127.0.0.1 and not the ip of itself.
After taking hints and looking around, I found that the Network DDE DSDM and Network
DDE were disabled. I manually started them and I could see the ip address of my
computer.
For all the help, I've seen, I have not had anyone hit on this one. It's just that
I have been a network admin and know the value of services. I should have started
from that angle but at least I got to it.
So determine your issue first through some analysis. Being able to ping your loop-back
address and not your IP is a sign of software issues especially if you are still
able to have DNS access - internet. Pinging your default gateway is also another
indicator that this isn't a serious issue (provided it returns).
Also, to me, this is a soft attempt to fix the problem. Getting to the regedit stage
or turning off applications that were running and are still running the same as before
the issue is the next step.
Mind you, I'm not saying that those steps won't be necessary but go softly. The
suggesting in XP pro is a good one but if it doesn't change anything, change it back
to what it was. Screenshot your existing condition when you can so that you know
what to get back to - that's in general.
Microsoft's knowledgebase is

an amazing step in looking at all of tcp/ip issues.
Start with this: netsh diag gui
