I installed VNC and right after I can no longer access the internet. When I try to connect it says opening port and it just hangs there. In the control panel when I open phone and modem options and it asks for the country or region there is nothing in the drop down. Any ideas?

I assume you attach to the Internet via dialup modem.

I use VNC on W2K and I have not seen this sort of interesting problem but it sounds like VNC is attaching to your com port so the machine can't find the modem.

I think I would start by un-installing VNC and seeing if things come back to normal. I suspect they will but if not, you'll probably need to manually re-install the modem drivers.
