   Yes.

   This computer needs to be fixed quickly, so I did not wait if an
answer would turn up here. I tried to go back to a restore point and
found that going to its first one on 1 Sep internet access came back (in
normal mode not just Safe mode). Going to 8 Sep it stopped again. I'm
not sure about trying to nail down which day it stopped. I might just
rebuild (install updates, update desktop and application update [Acrobat
4->6 etc) from there since the WinXP process doing a restore is lengthy.

   Something deep in the software got broken. I wonder whether it was
hacked? NAV was not working properly, Win firewall was turned off and
the people have always on ADSL connection.
