Problem With Filesharing And Other Things

[Bebi]

My internet connection seems to be semi-dead, I can use the internet and play some games but things like kazaa or dc++ do not connect and it will connect to my hotmail account but not my ntl one (I have a 1mb ntl connection) and this just happened suddenely on it's own I did not install or open anything it just happened while I was on dc++ :( I have tried restarts and shit but it wont stop. I am using xp pro no sp1

hmm.. I have similar issue with Win98 - one time I started as every time
my local webserver abyss and typed in the browser localhost but got
site not found error - and when dialing it connected to the internet but I could
not browse any site - I think something with some necessary dlls went wrong -
or some network configuration :(

I reinstalled everything and now it works again - but reinstalling I hate it!
