Wow, I don't believe it, it's working!
From the following site..
http://www.homenethelp.com/help/networking-me.asp
I did this...
"TIP #18: Internet Explorer will not find any web pages.
1) Go to Control Panel | Internet Options | Connections | LAN Settings
and clear all of the boxes.
2) Re-create the Winsock2 registry entries:
a. Un-install ICS (if installed).
b. Un-install Dial-Up Networking. Do NOT reboot.
c. Delete registry key HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2
d. Re-install Dial-Up Networking. Reboot.
e. Re-install ICS (if desired).
[Thanks go to Microsoft MVP, Steve Winograd, for this tip.]"
....and it all seems to work. I'm not going to celebrate too much until
it's stood the test of time but it looks good.
