Title: Losing internet connectivity with SP2
Post by: Blookah on March 16, 2007, 03:03:27 PM
I posted this problem to the networking forum and never received a response. Hopefully your forum can help. Microsoft automatically installed Service Pack 2 after I had reformatted my system. I run XP Home and after SP2 was installed my ability to connect to the net was lost. I reloaded drivers, checked Device Manager and everything said working fine as far as my network adapters go but still no connection. There is no hardware or virus problem. I could connect prior to SP2 and now I have had to reformat my drive again and I can connect now, but without SP2 I can't use Media Player 11 and SP2 supports my USB Controller which I currently don't have because I don't want to replicate this problem. Questions: What might cause this?, Can I get a USB Controller w/o SP2? or What other options and/or solutions are there?
Thank you in advance for your help

We need more information to help, like...

How are you connected, wireless, wired, dialup / with a router / cable / type "ipconfig" without the quotes in a DOS window...what shows up.
