From one day to the next my windows XP (SP3) suddenly decided not to be able to go on the internet. I've tried both IE and firefox without luck. Nor can my antivirus (AVG free) or firewall (ZA free) update through the internet.

I'm given an IP from the switch and I can ping it no problem, but it's as though the uplink cable was disconnected.

However... I also have a Vista installation on that same computer and everything works fine there!

I'm suspecting the last windows update that automatically popped up the day before.

Do you have any ideas what to do???

Thanks a lot. I'll be installing that when I get back from work.

Thanks.
