Interestingly, I had the same thing here - only worse; Some (expletive
deleted) kid of mine downloaded a '98 d/l accelerator, which installed onto
'95! Result: I couldn't even ping myself!
ping 127.0.0.1 ... Destination host unreachable(!). Then it got onto my own
personal, and highly guarded '95 installation (All installations via control
panel, no crap allowed, no tsrs, minimum of games - 2 years since last
reinstall). and THAT couldn't even ping itself. But we were saved by a .bat
left there file to remove it, which undid the crap, and even fixed the other
machine.
