I think the .dummy.net, is caused by setting your domain. Have a look under the internet control pannel, connections tab, settings. There is a feild called doamin, which should be blank. I stringly recommend getting a more secure browser. Or atleast get all the IE updates (and check regularly) and change your security settings to block all the activeX crap.	Guest (0)

And double-check in registry: HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP Also check HOSTS file and LMHOSTS for any reference.	Guest (0)
