SP3 & no internet access

I installed SP3 on my XP home computer and couldn't get online using IE,
Netscape, or Foxfire. I read it was because I had IE 7 installed (you would
think the installation check would warn that this version wasn't compatible,
but nooo). So, I uninstalled SP3 and IE7, rebooted and was able to get online
with IE 6. I reinstalled SP3 (no other apps running) w/o incident. However, I
can't get online again. There does not seem to be a DNS problem, as any page
I try to load shows as the correct web address. However, the page-any
page-will not load. I can get email through Outlook Express, but not gmail
through the gmailnotify tray program. In fact, nothing that relies on
internet access loads. I have a DSL connection I run AVG 8 but not while
installing. I have Zone Alarm on the computer but don't use it. Help!
