Thomas... Have you tried running an updated virus scanner on these machines? The symptoms you're describing fall right in line with the effects of many viruses/worms, such as KAK. I can't see where VNC, in itself, would effect any system or network in the manor your describing. Perhaps you received the VNC package for a source that could have been infected? Any time I see the internet functions drop, like www and mail, I immediately suspect a corrupt wsock32.dll file, the target of many viruses. Worth a look.

Hi All, Ever since I installed VNC on my three systems linked via an SMC 802.11b wireless router, I can't get onto the internet via DSL. I can see my other systems just fine on the network and access files as well as access the router's configuration via it's static IP. I can get out to the internet via modem dial-up ok, but usage of the router's NAT functionality is gone. I have uninstalled VNC, deleted all registry settings and even used the System Restore tool to no avail. I tried the VNC mailing list but it's impossible to access via modem. Anyone got any ideas besides reformatting everything? I know it's hard to believe, but I really think VNC is to blame. The reason for this is because even on my regular modem ISP dial-up (Earthlink), I can't access my mail servers or MSN messenger. I can surf though. I originally had VNC installed on my thinkpad and HTPC connected via a hub with no router. I couldn't get the VNC client on the Thinkpad to see the HTPC (or vice versa). I was originally using NetZero as my day-to-day dial-up. It worked 100% fine before VNC (www, mail, msn messenger). I then installed VNC on the systems and all of a sudden, I get to the verified login window of Netzero and it says it can't contact the server. If I leave the error message up, I can surf, but can't access mail servers or msn messenger (just like on the Earthlink ISP). I then went to my friend's house who has two systems connected via an 802.11 router and did some computer housecleaning for her. I figured I'd try VNC on her laptop and desktop PCs. Worked like a charm. However, immediately after the VNC install, www surfing was a no go. I could still access the router through a browser and access all the network shares. Just no www. Her dial-up ISP exhibits the same problems (surfing www ok, but no e-mail or msn messenger) as I do, so I'm pretty sure VNC did something or that XP responded to VNC in some obscene way. Even a system restore to the previous week didn't fix the situation.
