Group, after some heavy duty googling I ran into the following : http://tntmax.com/Download/Software/WinsockXPFix.exe/view which did manage to restore my TCP/IP stack to its virgin state. M$'s netsh tool was (according to a KB article) intended to do just that, but didn't fulfill on its promise. So - good news - I'm back in business, and life's good again!! thx a lot for caring.
