<SNIP>
First, check for corruption in LSP / Winsock / TCP/IP.

Will it ping, or browse, by IP address?
# Ping 66.94.230.33.

Problem solved!
msinfo32 showed me I had some third party sockets (google desktop).
Removing them didn't immediately solve the problem, nor did netsh
winsock reset catalog or uninstall winsock in registry per linked MS
article above (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=811259). However the
WinSock XP Fix (http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html)
did the trick.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
