I wanted to get back to all on this and describe the resolution to the problem I had with my computer weeks before just in case anyone else may have experienced this issue.
To recap, I had downloaded service pack 3 and because of that install I could no longer connect to the Internet. Researching showed this to be true in cases of a failed SP3 install. In other words, apparently that day I shut down the computer before the installation was complete. Since I was connecting a new wireless router anyway, that was a suggested fix to get connected again to the Internet, bypassing the SP3 problem. Then I downloaded and reinstalled SP3 properly. All is fine now. *whew* If I hadn't had the new wireless router, it may have been a bigger mess to clean up, who knows. Anyway, that's that.

I downloaded and installed a bunch of Windows updates onto my XP pro desk topp last week right before I went out of town. I return to find that when I booted up my computer I could not log on to the Internet. We tried everything we could think of, including system restore. No luck. But it turned out that after talking to a few other folks, my dad discovered that they were having the same problem as me. They said that after they installed service pack 3 they could not log on to the Internet either. Fortunately, I have a lap top computer I can plug my DSL into while my desk top won't connect. Has anyone else experienced this after installing service pack 3? The funny thing is I thought I hadn't downloaded service pack 3 yet. Does anyone know where I can go to look on my computer to see which Windows updates I've recently installed? That would help me narrow down the culprit. Thanks, Chris Feist - The one and only!
