I should add I ran the WinsockFix. No difference. I've tried closing
everything that was running including antivirus. Windows firewall is not
turned on. I DO notice that the browser(s) are resolving hostnames
alright as in "Web site found... waiting for reply". There's nothing in
my hosts file. If I reboot to Windows 98, I have no problem there.
