I up and restarted DDE and NetDDE services to get networking back. If you disabled 'em in AnVir (or another task/service manager app) to get things battened down some time in the past, perhaps you can save some trouble by checking that they aren't still disabled when you need them.

These pages on networking problems and resolutions were the best thing I've come across and incisive were links to explain areas a user many not have come across.

However, this happened and the home network stopped. After many weeks asking calling and trawling through the MS Support site (absolutely useless help, everthing but what I wanted), but was solved here with the NTRights fix.

I posted a problem on the msusenet forum on XP networking, which you kindly responded to.

I stopped it, and everything started working.
