SP3/IE patch

[crasher]

specs: Dell 6000 Inspiron, XP Pro, SP2, IE 6.0

I updated my computer to Service Pack 3, and then tried going online. I was
able to receive a wireless signal and connect to it, but not use it. I would
get a message saying "limited or no connectivity" I would try to repair the
connection, but it would be unable to acquire an IP address. I restored to
before SP3, and my internet would work again. Also, can I get the new IE hack
patch without SP3?

Yes you can get the IE patch without SP3. Go to Windows Update and download and

You should update your Wireless Network card drivers. That usually
does the trick. If that doesn't work, there are some post-SP3 hotfixes
you can try.
