I should say that while ping worked ftp did not. I have an FTP
server on the LAN and while the machine was crook the WinXP ftp client
would not work correctly in normal mode but did in Safe mode like the
other networking functions.

Well I can report that I was able to repair WinXP by going back to
the 1 Sep restore point. Updates not applied to that date were applied.
NAV came up more broken at that restore point and had to be removed to
be reinstalled. Wild Tangent games gave a problem popup when closing
and was also removed. Now IE and networking is back in order.
For me who likes to chase bytes I'm not happy with this fix but
pragmatically that's different...
