To Pancake
It was I who asked the lady to post here and if you are wondering how she resolved the issue she went to www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm
and downloaded WinsockXPFix.exe (1 MB file) Illustrated Instructions on this webpage.
I have currently got an unrelated posting Pending which looks as though this will help resolve the issue (was looking at a router driver reinstall?) and the lady has given me a possible workaround the problem (whereever she found this?)
Neither you nor I suggested this method...But It worked!

To BedstorfromAP,
We are very concerned about the referrals from your "other site" First of all, you have to be authorised by admin to respond to posts in the Hijackthis forum. Secondly the original poster made no mention of the fact she was receiving help and advice on the same subject on other forums. In this instance she received a considerable amount of advice in a two page thread, mostly from yourself here and subsequently on August 18th. from here. Had we been aware of this at the outset we may not have become involved.
If you do refer anyone here in future, to avoid confusion and the potential for conflicting advice which could lead to even more difficulties, please ensure that full information and links about the referral is included in the original post and that the original thread on your other site is closed.
Joe.

Thanks Joe ,have taken that on board
Have said before we don't have resident Hijackthis interpretators (on site) so we have to politely push people in this direction (or somewhere else)If its beyond me or my co-workers to fix the problem by normal means
and I agree that they should acknowlege they have been to the other site first ( with a link to their posting?) But they seem to start from scratch again here  The link back is useful for your reference. They'll think its time consuming that they'll be saying "This guy is saying the same things as the other guy!" 
and Joe? we have had those types pass through our forums many times 
And B) the reason is we only have a handful of people answering questions in this section regularly also because of timezone differences (and we have to be elsewhere in the Forum as well to cover....we are knowledgeble but not experts at many subjects ) For instance I had to find and supply a link for Vibration white finger and the location of an indicator relay box in a car....all in 1 recent session (so I am a man of many heads!  )
Who knows, could be a cookery question for my search skills today?
