   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.
