when ping tests fail (both by URL and IP), and there's no firewall on the machine, short of a system restore what can be done?? back in the day of windows 9x, a simple reinstall of dialup networking would usually take care of that... can dialup networking be uninstalled/reinstalled in XP? the only step i know of is netsh... i've been told by that what's usually needed in such circumstances is a reinstall of the 'communications suite'... anyone know how to do that?
