Hi

I have a PC which is running Win2000 and it uses a dial-up connection to connect to the Internet. It is a stand-alone PC and so it does not have a network card.

I can connect to the Internet without any problems but when I try and do any the following I get failures:

1) I cannot ping anyone.
ping - times out
ping 'an IP address' - times out
ping 127.0.0.1 - works fine
2) I cannot FTP anyone. I have tried various FTP clients and they all fail.
3) I cannot TELNET anyone.
4) I am trying to connect to an SQL2000 Server with no success. SQL2000 Client is saying that it cannot find the connection (or something similar).

I would be grateful for any assistance as this problem is driving me mad.

Thanks
