A couple of addenda:

1) I have a direct connectino to the internet (via my router) and I've 
run the installer many times before.

2) I just downloaded another program that tries to connect to the 
Internet (Apple's iTunes program) and it's reporting similar problems 
accessing the internet. However, my copy of Mozilla (1.4) is working fine.
