ping gone

I have lost my ping.
It was lost when I ran Microsoft RegClean.exe
on Windows XP Home Ed
(yes I have been informed -> foolish act)
After running regclean.exe...
I observed that ping no longer works
I observed that ftp no longer works
(I should have run RESTORE, but didn't)
I could NOT run RESTORE later, because my computer only
saves the most recent restore point.
I purchased Windows XP Home Ed Upgrade
I used my newly purchased CD to re-install Windows XP
The following evening, as I was shutting down, Windows
delayed the shut-down and installed 33 updates.
I observed that ping 127.0.0.1 now worked
I observed that ping 192.168.1.100 now worked (thats me)
I observed that ping 192.168.1.1 now worked (my router)
I observed that ping comcast.net now worked (my ISP)
I went to bed happy
When I awoke this morning...
I observed that ping 127.0.0.1 worked
I observed that ping 192.168.1.100 worked
I observed that ping 192.168.1.1 DID NOT WORK
I observed that ping comcast.net DID NOT WORK
My guess is:
ping depends upon something (perhaps *.dll) that the
re-install did not fully replace. If this is a good guess,
how can I pin-point what it is that is corrupt?
I am running Webroot SpySweeper and it is up-to-date.
I am running Trend PC-cillin and it is up-to-date.
Tnx,
Charles
