No internet after sp3 update

[Ilja]

Hello,
I have recently upgraded my xp pro to sp3. Since then, i am unable to acces
the internet and get a Dns error message in IE6. I've tried repairing the
connections but without succes.
My laptop is still able to acces the internet, so that meanes my router and
modem are functioning properly. I have swithed off my firewall (McAfee) and
set the security settings to the minimum. My hardware seems to function ok.
By using the commandpompt, config all, i get the following information:

ON the desktop do the following:
Open a run command and type in:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Reboot your machine and see if that will help you to connect to the internet.
If it didn't then try to download this tool winsockfixer:

restart, please do so.
Let us know your progress.

Hi, I managed te resolve the issue. The sp2 update apparently changed my
DNS-settings to fixed adress. I have changed it (back?) to automatically
detect and now all works fine again.
Thanks for both your help,
