Hello,

After installing Windows XP SP2, my internet stops working. The router and
settings and internet connectivity are all fine. It even says I'm connected!
I have other computers with SP2 and SP3 and this has never happened! It's
really weird. I have tried Firefox 2 and IE 6 to no avail. Do you think it
has anything to do with ports or Windows Firewall? I don't get blocked access
to any programs nor do I have any other problems...I've looked through like
all the Troubleshooting Center. I have Skype 3.8 and recently installed a
Logitech WebCam Pro for Notebooks.
