Thanks, everyone for all the advice. I tried TechTool Pro – hoping it 
would tell me whether the Ethernet port was fried. TTP reported that 
everything was in order with this computer both before and after the 
current problem. As far as I can see, the version that comes with 
AppleCare doesn't check the Ethernet port.

I called the ISP (Charter Pipeline) to find out what their emergency 
dial-up number was. Turns out they don't have an emergency dial-up 
number!?! So I gave up and delivered the laptop to the Apple dealer for 
a checkup. They pointed out that – if the Ethernet port is fried – they 
would have to replace the whole logic board. I'll bet the lady can buy 
a new Mac Mini for the same price as a new logic board <g>
