Be sure that TCP/IP is installed om your computer. If yes then run the below command from a DOS prompt :

netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

When this is done restart your computer & try pinging 127.0.0.1 or the localhost. If that works, try pinging something like google.com.

Turn off the firewall & Try if this does not fix it:

Open a cmd window and type IPCONFIG /ALL enter, and see if all the entries are correct. Then type IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS enter.

Check the TCP/IP settings for the nic, make sure that the DNS setting is correct and reachable.

If you are running ICS off of another system, reconfigure the ICS setup.
