FW: Windows XP Headaches w/ Network Communication

I just had to downgrade my PC from Windows 7 to Windows XP. I reinstalled
Cygwin (from scratch), rebased, etc. However, now, none of my cygwin network
programs work except within my work's internal network (they used to work
just fine with Windows 7). I tried turning off windows firewall (the only
firewall on, I believe), and it didn't help. So Ping, NSlookup, ssmtp, etc.,
don't work.

The utilities work themselves, e.g., if I do ping 127.0.0.1 it works, just
can't see beyond my PC! All the errors relate to not getting to hosts.

I'm sure there's a simple solution to this. Thanks!

Here's my cygcheck:
