installing the 10 Vista updates of 08-14-07 stopped my internet

[Guest]

After installing the updates and re-booting I lost my LAN connection. Going
to diagnostics and getting new IP address the connection comes back up, but
the connection keeps searching for the public connection??? In Network &
Sharing, I have to run the diagnostics each time I restart the computer to
get my connection. So, I restored the system to the day before I installed
the updates and I am now connecting without a problem, but I don't have the
Vista updates. One or more of these updates is interfering with myLAn
connection. Does anyone else have this problem and what is the solution.

connection. Does anyone else have this problem and what is the solution.

after installing the performance/compatibility update i had to run
"diagose and repair" a couple of times to regain the internet. that was
a few days ago, and all has been working flawlessly since I did that.

Interesting, do you know the date ofthe perfomance/compatibllity update? Until yesterday none of the updates caused any problems. I had to run te diagose and repair each time I turned on my computer to re-connect and somehow it never finishes loading, but does let me connect.

938979 is not in my updates at all and I thought I had them all before
08-14-07. Prior to yesterday I was allowing auto updates.

you have to deliberately install that file: it isn't set up yet as a
regular update. i gave you the link already.
