Unable to connect thru internet explorer but both wireless and cable are connect

[jll]

My wife was traveling and opened an email that killed my ability to connect to the internet.  I have symantec and a scan recognizes and quarantines a trojan horse. 

The wireless connects with an excellent signal and the same for the wired network card.  I get ip addresses, etc.

I checked internet options and it is configured to automatically detect....

The laptop runs Windows XP...

Any suggestions?

ipconfig /all >c:\ipcfg.txt (enter)

I did a system restore back a month and I was able to get it running to update the anti virus..it quarantined a trojan horse and w.32 worm.  I don't know if either was the real cause...here is the ipconfig
that seems to be working now.

Your router acquires right settings for it's wan connection? (Your tcp/ip settings you presented seem to be fine).
If you try with an alternative operating system the problem is solved? (alternative operating system on a cd, they don't need to be installed on computer, just boot from a cd: knoppix, ubuntu - as examples).
