My version is 5.0.2195.5438. I have Win2k.

It's probably related to something else. This morning, when started, all was still connected and working ok. It might have been caused by some bad problems yesterday with the cable company. However, I have never heard that it could corrupt my IP on my PC. But, anything is possible in this world. We never know.
