Just an added thought before I decided to qit for the day.
I went looking for a way to rebuild TCP/IP and came up with the following.
Decided since nothing else worked I would try it and the log results are 
in the resetlog attached.

Tested it out with Juno on dial up and it did not seem to fix the problem.

Time to go to bed and get some sleep.

    *WinXP: Rebuild TCP/IP stack when all else fails*

This tip, from mikeshardware.com, helped me resolve an issue with a 
flaky Windows XP install:

Every experienced network guru knows that quite often the problem with a 
faulty network connection is due to the TCP/IP stack being corrupted or 
not properly bound. Starting with WinXP, Microsoft has disabled the 
ability to uninstall TCP/IP. So what are you to do if you suspect that 
all that is needed is a clean install of the TCP/IP stack? Luckily, it 
is fairly easy to rebuild the stack to the pristine conditions that it 
was in on a clean install using the NetShell utility.

Here's how:
Go to your command prompt and type the following:
netsh int ip reset [ log_file_name ]

A log file name must be specified in order to successfully execute the 
Netsh command. This file will log all the actions taken by netsh.

Sample:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
netsh int ip reset c:resetlog.txt

The only difference between these two is that the first will create the 
log in the current directory while the second specifies where the log is 
to be created. After creating the log you can use Notepad or any other 
text editor to see exactly what changes were made.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
