God only knows what the problem is.  The only thing I can think of
trying at the moment (aside from the normal re-build desktop, zap PRAM,
run Disk First Aid and Norton Disk Doctor merry-go-round) is removing
the TCP DNR file from your system folder and re-booting.  Sometimes it
gets corrupted.  I doubt it'll help, but you might as well try.
