I just installed SP2 and now I can't reach the web. When I open a IE I don't
get the window asking me if I want to unblock even. So I added the exception
myself. Still can't reach the web with IE. So, I turned off the firewall,
still can't reach the web. I don't have another fire wall installed. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling SP2. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have
any other suggestions?

Reinstall the drivers for the hardware you use to connect to the
Internet. This will be either a modem for dialup or an ethernet adapter
for broadband.

Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:

1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
drivers.

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.
