SP2 help

[Michael]

Let me tell you my set up first. I have four computer
three of which are laptops and the other is a desktop. I
use a netgear wireless router with four port switch. The
desktop is directly connected to the router via cat5.
The laptops are connected via wireless. Today I
downloaded and installed SP2 on one of the laptops. Now
I cannot log into my wireless router with the laptop.
What by logging in is going to 192.168.0.1, then typing
in my password. I tried logging in with the other
laptops and desktop and they all can, so I now it has
something to do with SP2. I tried turning off the
firewall but that didn't help. Anyone know what could be
going on?

fyi; As reported in Langlist Standard Edition 2004-08-26

For example, the beta cycle of SP2 already turned up many, many tools,
utilities and applications that SP2 breaks. See "Programs that are known
to experience a loss of functionality when they run on a Windows XP
Service Pack 2-based computer" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=884130 . Undoubtedly, many
more will be added to the list as SP2 goes into wider release.

A PC World article also cites a small, anecdotal survey among highly
experienced users who reported that SP2 hoses about 15% of PCs it's
installed on--- a huge number. (

That's not to say that "SP2 is bad" or any such thing: Rather, it's that
it's brand-new and huge, and that means there will be bugs and
incompatibilities.
