KB835732(Sasser) Causes Network DHCP problems.

[DoolittleInc]

After installing the: XP-KB835732-x86-ENU
and running the fix tool from Symantec, 2 of my 5
computers have become network less.

Unable to do so much as resolve an IP from the DHCP in my
D-Link DI-713P.

I've checked the system out with Hi-Jack This and browsed
Registry settings. Everything seems Fine... but it's
obviusly not.

If your machines to a static IP on the same subnet as the router (i.e. give
it the same address as you expected the router to assign... like
192.168.1.100 mask 255.255.255.0 or whatever) does it work? Can you then go
into the router's admin page? Have you tried resetting the router?

For what its worth, I have installed it on a few machines and not seen any
problems with DHCP (including my home set up with a Linksys router.)
