RE: All can be answered with......

MannyE,
If you measured without anything being plugged in, you probably measured resistance - measured in ohms, not volts. Without knowing exactly what you measured, and how, it's difficult to say what is going on. Was it actually plugged in when you took measurements?
Was your meter set to volts ( AC or DC )? Or did you just check continuity ( in ohms )?
If it was not plugged in, then you measured something besides volts - there is no voltage if it's not plugged in to the wall. If you were just checking continuity, everything is probably just fine. If it was plugged in and you really did measure 120 volts between N and PE, something is wrong. If it is wired correctly, you should have 120 volts between P and N.
