Be more specific about what you are doing please.
Does this mean you are using the Connections tab
in the Internet Options dialog *from* an IE Tools menu?

FWIW in NT4 I used to have so much trouble trying to change
proxy settings using that technique that I was forced to switch
to using the ostensibly indentical dialog in the Internet Properties
tool. (E.g. Run... control inetcpl.cpl) Since then, I have just
carried the practice over into XP. YMMV.

Again, you are withholding details. If you are using some canned procedures
from Earthlink instead of building your own connection to it that could explain
where unwanted settings keep coming from.

Sorry, that was my reading of the syntax given by this help:

    netsh int ip reset ?

So then, that would suggest that you try:

    netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

However, also look at this article which implies that it may be a good idea
to disable firewalls before doing that:

<title>KB810606 - Error Message When You Run the "Ipconfig /Renew" Command</title>

You appear to be using the web interface to newsgroups.
Unfortunately it is impossible to tell which portal you are using.

FWIW this is the link that I use (when I need to)

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsupdate&lang=en&cr=US

You can see on the left a link labeled Windows XP Networking and the Web
which would be a good one.

Do you have to use that or can you use a real NNTP newsreader
such as Outlook Express?

For the latter see if this link works for you:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web

That could set up an "account" for you on the microsoft news
server. You could read with it immediately but in order to post
from it you would probably have to do some personalizing
in the account's Properties dialog.

I am cross-posting there now in case someone reading there
has some immediate comments to add or questions to ask.

For their convenience here is a link to the entire thread:
