Default No Internet, Cannot ping localhost

I can ping a real world address but I cannot ping localhost. The hosts file
is ok. I cannot ping yahoo. When I set the IP to obtain, it won't obtain an
address. If I give it an address and put in the gateway and dns, I can ping
the internet address, but not a friendly name. It sounds like a tcp/ip or
winsock problem. When I remove Winsock and remove the network adapter and
reboot, that should rebuild both, but the result is the same.
Any help?

Well it appears that Winsock didn't repair. No Winsock entry in the registry.
When I netsh winsock reset, it get a file not found.

Default No Internet, Cannot ping localhost

nslookup
Can't find server

I was able to rebuild winsock, I replaced tcp/ip, the hosts file is correct.

I still cannot ping localhost or the computer name. I compared all the
services on another machine and they look the same. DNS is running. So what
is next. I have never seen this on any computer before.

I would double check the DNS settings. This search result may help,

nslookup

I know this is the problem, I just don't know how to correct it.
