I wouldn't rule out a virus. This Zircam thing was supposed to atack some
servers and Cox cable found that it attacked some of their boxes and left
their customers without an ISP. Check out some of the virus sites.

: Hello omega-list,
:
:   I'm hoping one of you technical experts may be able to help with
:   this problem that has kept me out of trading most of last week.
:
:   In short, I can log on with both DSL and Dial-Up but cannot connect
:   to any server - web site, e-mail, data provider etc. I have two
:   machines in my office and it is the same for both.
:   Last Tuesday morning it was connected fine, collecting Globex data
:   then stopped. I'm running W98SE with LinkSys network cards. QFeed -
:   DS - TS4. Have run diagnostics on the cards and they both check out
:   OK. Covad's level 2 support have checked out their software; their
:   level 3 support have run checks at their end and cannot come up with
:   an answer. I'm now waiting for their Network Operations people to
:   get back to me....its a very slow process!!
:   I have tried deleting ZoneAlarm completely; no virus or diagnostic
:   s/w running.
:
:   Last night I was able to get the use of a laptop to log on by
:   dial-up through my lines without any connection troubles so I can
:   rule out the lines although it did not have DSL capabilities.
:
:   Right now I'm at a loss and a high level of frustration so any
:   suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
