There is a good chance that Winsockfix may solve your
problem. I've used it myself, as have many others.
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257
This is what the site says:-
If you have suddenly lost your Internet connection after
removing spy-ware (such as NewDotNet, and Commonname) the
following steps will help restore your connection. This
works for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP.
1.) Download WinsockFix.zip. (by: Option^Explicit)
2.) UnZip WinsockFix.zip (Pay close attention to where the
file is extracted to.)
3.) Run WinsockFix.exe.
4.) Click the Fix button.
This program will clean up your TCP/IP connection and
rebuild the database. After the program is complete, reboot
and your problems should be resolved.
George Bell.

Hello Laura,
But I use exactly the same settings and the same ISP under
windows XP, so the bug seems to be somewhere in my first
(main) system, but where? It remains a big question :(((
Well, gonna reload, type that password to get connected
again, send th mail and go back. You know something, during
the whole 9 years of my relationship with computers I never
ever had a single moment when everything was going
swimmingly. Anyway, mustn't grumble.
Best regards,
Denis
