Check the SP2 firewall settings. It may be interfering with your network settings.

Though it shouldn't be this also click file and make sure "Work Offline" isn't checked.

If problems persist try another web browser to see if its an IE or System problem.

IE 6 is working offline. I am at present using Opera 5 it is working fine.

should I first uninstall SP 2 and again reinstall the same. I used one spy/addremover software and this is the result. I have since uninstall that spy/add software.

You dont want it to do that. Uncheck it.

You may want to consider using Mozilla Firefox for the majority of your internet surfing habits. www.mozilla.org . It is a free fast & secure browser. The main problem with IE is that it is full of security holes, and is a big target for hackers. Firefox is much safer and secure.

Valid thoughts but even Firefox won't work with a corrupted IP stack.

Yeah I ran into this corrupted IP stack thing for the first time a while back. Needless to say its a good thing the creator of the spyware responsible wasn't in front of me or I'd be in jail now.
