Hi,
Thanks for the tip. But no, no proxy settings in either my firefox or IE,
and initiating a vpn connection does not change these settings.
I've a feeling there's some corruption in my registry, perhaps in the
TCP/IP stack area. But I'm no expert. I've tried Microsoft's TCP/IP stack
reset (netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt), with no luck.
