That would be my best guesstimate. Either doing that messed up your compy or it contributed to an existing problem. It is hard to say without being able to sit in front of the actual machine. From what you describe, it sounds like a number of protocol and security keys have been altered.
Some of it sounds like malware - we have seen a number of baddies mess with these settings. However, if this were the case, I would have seen evidence of them in the WinPFind Log.

-- Have you tried a System Restore to a point before the madness started?

-- How does your machine run in Safe Mode? Do you have Safe Mode with Networking? You should be able to access the net in Safe Mode - give that a try and see if you still have problems. That answer will help narrow things down for us.

Will check back as time permits. I imagine Judy will as well.

Best Luck
