Service Pack 2 and AOL Broadband

[Guest]

I have AOL Broadband and when I installed SP2 on my system the connection of
my lan to my dsl router became little or no connectivity. It says that it
cannot renew my ip addres, what can i do to solve this problem.

Try turning off the firewall temporarily to see if that helps. If not then
can you connect directly to your modem instead of the router or try
resetting the router.

Get a new ISP.

AOL tells users its DSL days are over:

July 8th will be the end of the DSL days for AOL users. Though you'll be
offered some plan with SBC from the looks of things.

On the other hand it could be that you're contracted some sort of malware.
You could just need to reset your winsock. Start > run > cmd > enter > type
netsh winsock reset > hit enter > reboot

If no joy then a trip here might be good:
