Original thread was because I cound not access the net or email through
my cable modem or analog. Both now work. However, I still have a LAN
problem(?) and was directed to start this new thread. I am going to
list a number of things I know to be wrong/unusual and hope someone can
find a common cause.

Network Connections - When I try to modify the network settings, there
are none. Network Connections is empty. But my PC can still access the
net through my cable modem and still access my Network drive.
Internet Options - Connections - all choices are grayed out (Never dial,
Dial whenever, Always dial).

MS Explorer - when I open Explorer, 'My Computer' is collapsed. When I
click on it, it takes 2-3 minutes (I time it) for a list of drives to
appear (internal - partitioned and network drive). If I expand and
immediately collapse, I get another 2-3 minute wait. Once my drives are
visible, I can access folders/subfolders only by selecting them from the
left hand column. If I click on a folder in the right column, I get a
popup that looks like a command prompt - appears but closes in 1-2
seconds. Explorer can access my network drive with no problems on my
laptop.
MS install - at one point, I tried to install XP on another partition -
XP startup complains the drive is not formatted correctly.
Disk Management - server execution failed
Norton Firewall - won't run. Tells me I don't have privileges.
SaveAs - if I try to save a fle and change folders for a new
destination, I get the same 2-3 minute wait.
MS Outlook - on every bootup, it tells me I need to install a feature -
the feature is registering Outlook. I then get a popup telling me I am
registered but go through the same process next bootup.
All I remember right now. Guidance please.

OK, no answers. Maybe if I give some more info.
Errors, according to Event Viewer.
Application Warning - Event ID 4356 - "COM+ Event System failed to
create an instance of the subscriber partition xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx."
System Error Event ID 10010 - "The server xxxxxxxxxxxxx did not register
with DCOM" - many of these in a row
System warning - Event ID 4 - "Adapter Intel(R) PRO/100V Network
Connection: Adapter Link down" - 1st time I've seen this one
System Warning - Event ID 1003 - "You computer was not able to renew its
address from the netwrk (from the DHCP server) for the network card" -
1st time I have seen this one
System Warning - Event ID 36 - "The time service has not been able to
synchronize the system time"
I have looked up most of these errors but the explanations/resolutions
are a little above my expertise. Hope this helps.

Event ID 10010 gives different resolutions depending on which Windows
Server I have ( e.g., 2002). How do I find out?
