Security Pack Error?

I downloaded the windows security pack 2, and ever since then, it says my local connection has limited or no connectivity. I don't know if there are other threads that relate to this, but if anyone can help, that would be appreciated. im just using an external modem connected to sbc via dsl. thanks

 

i am also using xp home, and a hp pavilion 734n, and i think it could be that i have virii some where on this pc... any response would be cool though

 

Yes, it appears many people are now having internet problems...me included.

Symptoms: I can enter an address into the address box in IE, but system hangs, does not "hourglass" to show it's working on the address. Sometimes, after about 30 seconds, the site will pop up.

Same address can be entered into the search field for Google and the site can be accessed, so it is not site availability.

This has only occurred since installing service pack 2 on my machine(an HP 8555).

ExtremeTech forums are also reporting sporadic problems...this is Gates-induced and another example of their sloppy work.

 

Laslar - Do a search over in Extremetech.com - I remember seeing a post in the networking section that had a fix for this - somehow SP2 is changing default settings....sorry, can't remember exactly which post, but I know it's there...

No virus is doing this - I've run all the latest tests with both Norton and McAfee, no problems...this happened immediately after installing SP2....

 

thanks guys.... but it's kind of too late since my windows died, currently using linux heh
