EU2 always crashes immediately when I attempt to connect to V-Net. Any ideas why this might happen? Is V-Net still used? I'm running EU2 v1.08, only modification is AGCEEP 1.36 in a moddir, so I assume that isn't the problem.

I bet it's some issue with some connection-related hardware or software of yours. VNet is still in use, though as a hint, get latest beta patch, everyone uses latest beta always.
Somebody else can perhaps give you better guidance with the technical issues or you could look through stickies...

If you have a software firewall this behavior happens. You need to allow eu2.exe to connect to internet.
I got the latest beta (I only need to download the latest one right? not all of them?) and made sure Zonealarm and Windows XP Firewall were off. I'm not behind a router. Still no luck. Then I tried a full reinstall, just EU2, v1.08, and the beta, tried all three versions, no luck. It crashes the instant I press the Valyrienet button. I ran EU2_settings.exe to check the address, it shows europa.valkyrienet.com, is that right?
Yes; I also installed to a different folder the second time (the default, instead of removing "Strategy First" from the path). From what I read in another thread here about installation problems, it looks like I'm installing everything properly.
Hmm, it even crashes when I'm not connected to the internet, and I click on the V-Net button. Exactly the same.
Is it possible there's an issue with the latest version of DirectX, which is 9.0c? That's what I have.

mine is also 9.0c.
You might wanna update all your drivers of your hardware.
