I have three different removable drives that I use - W98,
W2K and XP. I haven't used my XP drive for a couple of
months so I found it needed 47 updates. I started with
SP1. After it installed my dail connection doesn't seem to
work. It connects, but I get no activity and doesn't seem
to connect to the server.
I am running McAfee anti-virus and firewall, both of which
were turned off during the download/installation. I also
have the firewall off during connection, thinking it might
not be allowing something to access the Internet.
Anybody have any ideas.
Thanks
Wes
 
First of all, I have found that it is not wise to
download every single update that Windows claims you
need. Sometimes you don't need half the crap that they
stick in those updates. Just remember that...
You might have downloaded the wrong Serice Pack. Either
you already had SP1 or (most likely) the SP1 that you
downloaded is conflicting with your first SP1a. If so,
try to restore your system using System Restore.
But, McAfee firewall and anti-virus are very stubborn
programs. I have them both and whenever I disable them, I
seem to have Internet troubles. Simply turning them on
might help.
