Sorry for replying to myself. Chuck, Jacks comments did not apply as I
never installed NVIDIA Firewall and Forceware Network
Access Manager. During a recent uninstall and reinstall of the drivers
as a result of your thread with Jack, I made doubly sure that these
bits did not get installed.

A tad academic now as I'm Realtek powered <g>.

Guy,

I don't think you quite got the experience that Jack related. He installed (or
un installed) drivers, but the drivers for the nVidia NIC were not the problem.
The problem was the firewall itself. And if you look upwards in the thread,
you'll see that I had him enumerate the winsock, as many firewalls are installed
with links in the LSP / Winsock. But no trace of the firewall was seen there.

So you may state that you're nVidia free, and maybe you are. But be very sure,
because Jack was sure for several days. And found out that he had been wrong,
and found nVidia to be the problem.

Anyway, it's your computer. I'm not looking at it with you. So if the problem
isn't the NIC, what's the problem?

Let's look at the updated diagnostics, to start. I install a network
diagnostics script, ccdiag.cmd, on each of my computers, something like
@echo off
@echo Start CCDiag for %computername% >c:\ccdiag.txt
ipconfig /all >>c:\ccdiag.txt
browstat status >>c:\ccdiag.txt
net config server >>c:\ccdiag.txt
net config workstation >>c:\ccdiag.txt
net share >>c:\ccdiag.txt
net view >>c:\ccdiag.txt
@echo End CCDiag for %computername% >>c:\ccdiag.txt
notepad c:\ccdiag.txt

Yet another PChuck script. Maybe it will help us though. I run CCDiag
periodically, when something funky is happening.
