Alright, I fortunitely only had this problem for about a half hour before finding
the solution (listed below... THANK YOU!!!) So I did the obvious and reseated the
nic, reinstalled drivers, deleted connection and created new etc..... What ended
up doing it for me was disabling the ICS connection. I use a third party firewall
not the XP firewall so this is no issue for me (if you do not have a third party
firewall I would not suggest disabling this feature) but the service was "Windows
Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" immediately after the service was stopped
the connection was fine. Not even a reboot needed. Hope this helps someone.
