I changed the NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Protocol Frame Type in my W2k PC from "Auto Detect" to "Ethernet 802.2" and now I cannot access the internet through T1 line or dial-up connection. Also cannot see computers in "Computer Near Me". I changed it back but that did not work.

Something else must have have happened. I have NWlink setup the same way on my W2k box with no problmes (for Arcserve). Uninstall NWlink & the Netware client and re-install them. Also make sure you can ping your proxy server (or anything else).

Thank you but I tried removing the NWLink and Netware Client already and we do not use a proxy server.
The problem seems to be related to Name Resolution or IP configuration. I changed my NIC card to another manufacturer and then changed my IP address and now it works.
Thank you for your help.
