Hi dustin and welcome to the WTT forums.
Sorry to hear about the Internet issues.
The fact that you can connect in safe mode with networking, but not in normal mode indicates that something that is loading at startup in normal mode (but not in safe mode) is causing the problem.
A likely culprit is one of your protection applications...... firewall anti virus etc (especially if you have a compbined suite of protections)
You could use MSCONFIG in normal mode to prevent all normal startup items loading (deselect all) and you could also try looking at services and hiding all Microsoft ones (via MSCONFIG) apart from anything that you know runs your mouse or keyboard!)
You could as an alternative try uninstalling your protections ( make a note of any serial numbers and copy downloaded executable installation files so you can reinstall later)
Then reboot your computer and see if this has done the trick... please be very careful just a short test...as with your protections not in place your machine will be vulnerable to attack.
Let us know how you get on
Regards
paws
