I am now logged in from my regular computer again--thanks, Hobbit Hole!!! :) I owe some folks some pints! Owe Ramius a few--that System Restore was what did it! :) Handy thing, that. Man, did that save me from a long night!!! Still wondering what caused that. Anyhow, much thanks!!!

Good deal...

Now... unless that machine has shared folders, or printers, turn on the XP firewall on that machine. Look on the advanced tab of your network connection.

I think your machine may have been compromised, and without an effective firewall it may be compromised again.
