Hello --

The connection has been broken for so long I can't remember when the
problem began. I recall a virus in the past which might be the cause.

XP SP3 won't connect with Firefox, Opera, or IE.
Booting with Ubuntu connects just fine.

Does this information point to the component(s) of Win XP which is
broken?
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

If there is a more appropriate group in which to post this please tell
me.

Thanks in advance for any help.

L Mehl
