Thank you faradd for your reply.

1. Device manager shows the network adapter is there enabled and working properly.
2. I have this computer in my network now, not where it normally is. It does not work in either network.
3. Using a static or fixed IP yields the same results
4. Booting into safe mode with networking WORKS! I can ping localhost, local IP, and the gateway.

Now what?

I will try the winsockfix program and post back.

Here are the results from ipconfig, the pings and netstat -e:
