Ladies (2%) and Gentlemen (98%),

A week ago, some mystery force changed my LAN settings from "Obtain IP Automatically" to something else. My ISP (Comcast Cable) tacitly admitted that something had infiltrated the trenches and messed up more than a few people. My buddy was likewise affected. I resored my settings. He did a system restore. I don't use system restore (WinXP Pro - legit).

OK, I can go to most every fun web page, including this one. The one remaining symptom, however, is that I cannot access Google. Also, I can get no search results from Altavista or Yahoo.

This troubles me no end.

WinXP Pro, fully updated, no SysRestore. If it helps, it's a Shuttle SB51G.

Can ANYone help a brother out? I'm the community PC doctor (three builds/rebuilds/reconfigs per month - free of charge), so I'm really at my wits end!!!

Please?
