KB911280 Breaks DUN

[Guest]

After installing the patches that came out on 13 June 2006, I was unable to
reconnect to my ISP after I rebooted. I kept getting an "Error 718"
I loaded a second computer with Windows XP SP2 without any security patches
installed. Installed my PCI modem and drivers. Setup my DUN and was able to
dial out and successfully connect to my ISP. I download & installed every
security patch from Windows Update, rebooted and tried dialing out but got
the Error 718. I then rolled the computer back to the beginning restore
point and dialed out successfully. After several hours of installing a
security patch, rebooting, and dialing out, I found that KB911280 was the
cause of my problems. I uninstalled this patch and was able to dial out and
connect to my ISP. I can replicate this error on any computer just by
installing KB911280.

Hi
Read this lot, if you have not already - you are not alone.
Once again it appears that another bunch of updates are causing havoc???
I am waiting till the dust settles - got enough problems from some of that
April load of cxxp downloads.

Did you check your connection settings? I found that I had to redo
mine. My local proxy settings and some of the Advanced & Security
settings in IE had been reset. I was wondering what had done that.
