I installed SP2 with NO problems execpt I had to update Nero, but
connection(Yahoo DSL) wise all is well.
They do have issues with certain IP addresses 70.240.XXX.XXX and
70.241.XXX.XXX. So if you have either one of these IP's then you may have
some website that you can't or have problems accessing
