XP SP2 install - Can't access Internet

L

Liz

Help, complete novice here. Currently have 3 PC's on a
wireless network. Main PC running XP connects to wireless
adsl hub by ethernet connection. Wireless adsl hub
connects to internet.
Downloaded XP SP2 and auto installed. Now everytime I
connect to Internet it fails with Page not found, though
occasionally it will connect surf for a few pages then die
again. All other PC's connect to internet no problem.
Am tempted to roll bacl installation but wondered if
anyone can help me first.
TIA

I know that if the firewall service is disabled, SP2 can leave the
TCP/IP filtering locked down (check in TCP/IP properties/advanced of the
connection), providing an IP address but inability to connect. This
problem, though, appears to be a poor signal if you can get even one
page to load. Check that the correct wireless driver is installed/card
properly labeled in Device Manager. If this is an Intel mini-pci card,
I believe that Intel has an XP2 driver update posted.
