Well that didn't take too long.
PC crashed earlier and when I rebooted, the Web and Mail shield were down along with Windows built in firewall. Couldn't turn the shields back on so I uninstalled and the Windows firewall wouldn't turn on either.
Rebooted again and peerblock wasn't able to start (couldn't load packet filtering driver) tried the fix described here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking/windows-cannot-display-firewall-settings-xp-sp3/1e829738-9bd2-4f5d-95b4-467d3945930a
and apparently the DLL's are missing (even though a search turns them up
)
Rebooted again and now I have no internet connection. The system can't detect the NIC even though it's enabled and visible in Device Manager.
Looks like it's time to fire up a my puppy linux live CD and try to backup over the network *rolls eyes*.
