I have completely ruined my network settings in Windows
XP Home Edition. Is there any way to return them to
defaults, or erase the existing settings entirely and
start from scratch? Thanks.

Mike,

First, reset your LSP / Winsock (in case one of your installed programs loaded a
Winsock component).

Give LSP-Fix and WinsockLSPFix a shot <http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>

If you have SP2, Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh winsock reset catalog" into
the command window. Reboot.

Reload TCP/IP using Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh int ip reset c:\netsh.txt"
into the command window. Reboot again.

Cheers,
Chuck
