ie6 and xp sp2 unable to open any web pages

Hi All,
I just reformatted my disk, reinstalled xp pro sp1. Set up my broadband connection, momentarily forgot to set firewall on! Corrected that asap. Got all windows updates and then installed service pack2. Now when I first connect to internet after reboot I can get my home page [news.bbc.co.uk] but going anywhere else results in page not found. Subsequent attempts at opening home page also then fail - page not found.Any advice about internet security/privacy settings and windows firewall exceptions settings would be much appreciated.
Worryingly though... I notice that there is a strange program in windows firewall/exceptions tab - it is called bootmng and I dont know what it is.When I first rebooted after sp2 install I got a windows security alert that said 'Windows firewall has blocked some features of this program:- name: bootmng
publisher: unknown

Windows firewall has blocked this program accepting connections from the internet or a network.
If i run hijackthis it is shown as a running process in c:\windows\system32 and as 04 HKLM\..\Run: [Boot Manager] bootmng.exe and also
04 HKCU\..\Run: [Boot Manager] bootmng.exe and
04 HKLM\..\RunServices: [Boot Manager] bootmng.exe

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
