My interweb connection was crossconnected to my AOL and the rotory girder collapsed when the datum calculated the value of XML!!

Or,

I moved my wife's computer from Firefox .9, which was ticking along just fine, and after I updated my box to 1.0 from 1.0PR, and now every site I try and connect to errors out. The error message is "The connection was refused when attempting to contact blahblah.com"

I can see pages using IE, there is good connectivity on the box. Literally, the only thing I did was upgrade Firefox, and reboot.

XP pro and absolutely no issues/problems at all, except and until this one.

Ideas?

This makes no sense to me. I can't even ping my own router, nor can I connect to the router. However, connectivity is fine? I don't get it at all. IE sees the web fine, outlook express has no issues, msn messenger is fine, but I can't ping my router? WTF? My box, on the same network, can ping the router.
Her box, says "PING transmit failed, error code 65"
Okay. That's great. So wtf, mate?

Uninstalled, reinstalled Fox 1.0, still a no go. Pitch it, reinstall .91 works great. Whatever...
