Win2K install SP4 = can't connect to MSN and slow connect to others

[Guest]

I installed SP4 on my Win2k Member Server.

Now I can not connect to MSN for Windows updates and I can't
connect to Network associates for my Virus protection updates....
When I say can't connect, It just slowly clocks for ever....never completes

What is interesting is that I can connect to my ISP, Bank, School...
but the response time is extremely slow!

It experienced a Memory Dump last night so I booted to the
Last know good configuration.

Also, my Router lite is showing plenty of activity and the other '98 machines
are able to connect no problem with excellent response times.

Has anyone else had any issues with SP4, or is my machine just destined for
a full OS re-Install?

Hi!
There is always the possibility your running into some driver issues.
Do you happen to know the parameters of the Stop code? You should be able
to pull this from the System Event Logs. I would also be checking the
system event logs for errors after the installation of SP4. Another
possibilty is if you allowed it to create a Uninstall directory for SP4,
then you could back out of it, then see if the problem still occurs. If
not, I would suggest going out and looking for newer versions of Drivers
for Network cards and other devices.

Thank you,
