I am wondering whether the McAfee uninstall is trashing the Winsock settings in the registry or something equally obscure. Has anybody else had this problem?

If you have Broadband, reset the Modem [turn it off for about one minute] and then power it up and try again. Also you need to set your ISP as a trusted site in your Firewall. Get the free version of the AVG anti-virus program from here:
