One question first. When you upgraded, do you mean, you literally upgraded ME to XP, or you uninstalled ME, then installed XP?
Yes.

The reason I ask is, AFAIK, if you upgrade XP from anything(Including NT/2000) you will get TONS of errors. I had Win2K, then upgraded to XP. I had nothing but nightmares for the next week. Something in XP doesn't like being upgraded.
You're not wrong!!

I have since wiped my hard drive and reinstalled XP clean, and have had no major problems yet.
I am seriously thinking of doing this...do I need to uninstall XP first or do I just format my HD and do it again? How hard is this?

There *have* been a few connectivity bugs, mostly with ICQ/MSN, so its possible that there is some sort of TCP/IP issue, or some bad domain recognition. Are you able to access other websites by typing in their URL's, or is the problem only with IW?
So far the only problem is with
www.ironworksforum.com.

Also, have you downloaded/installed all of the latest updates from MS? I seem to recall that I installed an update that fixed an open port error I was getting.
Yep, did this...didn't do much good.

LOL..As to the 'Its an MS problem'...that's a standard tech support dodge. I used to give it when i did tech support too. Its almost policy. "If we cant figure it out...it must be a Microsoft problem". "But, I have a paper jam in my printer" "Nope, sorry ma'am...that's a microsoft driver issue...call them" LOL
I won't repeat what I said to her here.

Keep smiling Mems. I'll root around on the MS Knowledge base for awile and see what I can come up with.
Good luck
