Hi Nathan. I higher on the learning curve than my post may have implied (though I've horrid gaps, on occasion). The router(s) are configured and work with all other machines in the house. This machine worked fine *until* the MS update was installed. I've run Network Diagnostics and found that both the DHCPServer and the DNSServerSearchOrder calls have failed (which I expected, based on what it seems to be doine).
What I am hoping is that you, or someone else will have run into this problem before, that of an MS update stomping on this area!?!? FWIW, first thing I did was kill the firewall, so that is not the cause. Ideas???

I ran a batch of critical updates a couple of days ago, since then the PC (xphomeedition) can not connect to the web when plugged into *either* my linksys router or my airport base station. It CAN connect if I plug the cable modem directly into the box. Any ideas as to what might be the root cause and/or what can be done to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
