Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Ok, quick update: When I configure Vadalia to use Tor alpha in \PROG FILES
 9x86)\ **OR** Tor alpha in \MY DOCS\, TBB can't access the Internet - even
 though Vadalia says Tor is up and running. This has never happened before.

 If I run TBB w/o configuring it to use the installed alpha Tor, TBB is
 able to surf the 'Net. If I run TBB w/configuring it to use the installed
 alpha TOr, TBB is unable to surf the 'Net.

 WTF? (my firewall isn't the issue . . . )
