    "I didn't believe the null routes had anything to do with solitaire"

Bullshit.  You claimed exactly this.  Even after your reply below you =
agreed with mike miller's bullshit FUD where he makes even more =
outlandish claims.

    "I didn't capture any network activity"

Even more evidence that the null routes have no relevance as with no =
network activity the routes have no effect.

     Doesn't sound convincing.  What network traffic did you capture =

    No error message, I would click on it and get the spinning donut =
(what the
    hell is that supposed to be anyway, the hourglass signifies time but =
a
    spinning psychedelic donut?) then that would end and nothing would =
happen.
    No errors in event log, nothing. Same with right clicking on
    network/properties, spinning donut then nothing. I telneted to my =
router,
    removed the routes and within a couple minutes both worked again. No =

  reboot,
    no nothing happened on the laptop.

    Prior to this I had tried rebooting several times, didn't help, but =
once I
    removed the null routes then it started working again.
