Thanks to all who've suggested fixes. I've tried them, to no avail.
Still cannot even manually connect to http://127.0.0.1:9000/ ("Firefox
can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:9000";
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".). Yet all other
computer functions are normal, including manual loading of other
URL's.

I'm wondering if it's this rotten Vista x64 OS. It's been failing
updates for a while, and my skills are insufficient to fix it; nor do I
think I should spend that amount of time trying to make up for MS being
out of control.

Soooo, although this 2-yo ASUS 2.0Ghz/4GB laptop is still useful, I've
ordered a new desktop with Windows 7 (altho that product too is already
showing flaws in blogs.) Once I have that working and stable, hopefully
with SBS up again, I'm gonna wipe/install W7 on the laptop. 

I'm vaguely starting to think Mac or Ubuntu, too. Or maybe Google will
take a serious run at Windows. Mac could've OWNED the PC market, if
they hadn't been so pricey, especially at the 80's-90's starting
point.

Again, thanks for your consideration.
