So help me out here - how did you get to CDiag from LSP / Winsock /
TCP/IP corruption?

I have no clue, so I'll go back and try to find the steps.

I started with your first URL:

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.htm

Working through that I came to "Repeat the Diagnosis." Not remembering
anything about diagnosis which I could repeat I clicked on it and got:

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/08/solving-network-problems-tutorial.html#Six

There under the Title "Rule Six - Use Diagnostic Aids and Tools" the first
link was with this statement:

"I use CDiag for comprehensive and repetitive testing between multiple
computers."

I clicked there and got:

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/using-cdiag-without-assistance.html

Which had the CDIAG code.

OK, this has a list of things to do.

The first 3 are basically beside the point, given that this is a sudden
occurance, altho I did, at the very firswt, turn off my firewall to see if
there was an issue there.

The fourth point says:

Make sure that NetBIOS Over TCP is consistently set, in TCP/IP
Properties...

Not having any clue how to do that I clicked on the link and got more talk
about needing to set this and that but still not a clue on where to find
the settings involved.

This is a point I tried to make. Obviously you already know where all
this stuff is. You know and think about huge numbers of things. This IS
MULTITASKING, which you say is unnecessary.

There are two items in my Control Panel about networking. Network
Connections and Network Setup Wizard. Before I ever got on here and
asked for help I dug around in those areas every which way I could find
and could never find any network settings, addresses, TCP/IP or any such
thing. Of course you chose to blather on under the assumption that I had
not so much as lifted a finger in any attempt to do anything whatever -
typical for gurus. I've found that to be the case every time I've dealt
with people who are network savvy - an unfortunate situation, to be kind.
