Thanks, I can confirm that by now. Reinstalling Windows solved the issue with network sharing for me. But then, after running Windows Update, IBrowse can no longer resolve hosts. Ofcourse, I had created a 'System Restore Point' before running Windows Update, so I could easily do a rollback. But it seems Microsoft actually disables System Restore before it installs the problematic update.. :| The patch didnt work either. Sigh.. Will have to wait until someone finds a solution.
