Default Internet access from an XP Pro laptop (wireless)

I can get access to Google earth and from the 'web' tab, access Yahoo mail
but little else.
IE cannot access a URL, not will Opera but the connection is there. I have
tried everything, including the Winsock fix. I can ping and traceroute etc
but cannot get directly to a URL

Could really do with some help please. My email address (which I can pick up
on my desktop) is highbridgesb@yahoo.co.uk

If you have ZoneAlarm installed first uninstall it, reboot, that will re
estabilish your internet connection.

Then go to Zonealarm website, download the latest version 7.0.483.000 and
that will fix the problem.

The problem was due to the Windowns Security Update KB951748 and previous
version ZoleAlarm interaction.

Sorry - I am limited with what I can access - as described in the question so
unfortunately, I haven't progressed. Perhaps I should reinstall XP - but it
came pre-installed! Is there likely to be a recovery partition or anything
like that?
