Hi, H.A.,

Saw your post while waiting for a reply to mine... never
got one, though. Maybe they're related.

My problem turned out to be my wireless USB adapter (and
the XP computer behind it) was not being automatically
given a proper IP address by the router. I have been
advised that this sometimes happens when upgrading drivers
automatically from Microsoft.

I don't know what sort of 'infrastructure' your Sony TV
has, or even what it uses the Internet for. But if it
also is not getting a proper address from the router, you
may have to figure out how to enter the info manually. On
my XP machine, it was simply a matter of right-clicking on
the wireless 'Network Connection,' then
under 'Properties,' navigating to the 'TCP/IP entry and
plugging in the proper numbers that were given to me by a
nice lady at Linksys (my router).

But then again you say you have a similar problem with a
hardwire connection, so maybe not. Good luck.
