Lose the HTML Howard. Many will NOT answer when someone posts as such!

I posted this to a couple of newsgroups yesterday but got no responses so I'm trying "post-holiday". I've seen several similar posts but as the TV commercial says, "not exactly"... I just upgraded all three of my machines to sp2 today and now I have a strange situation. I have a Linksys wireless network with one desktop connected directly to the WAP and another desktop and one laptop connecting wireless to the WAP. My dsl modem is connected to the WAP for sharing by all. Since upgrading to sp2 the internet connection is showing "disabled". It is actually working just fine -- at least everything is using it ok. However, all three devices are showing it as disabled in My Network Connections. All will show "connected" in the Enable dialog box but the status never changes. All of the computers were bought new with XP and the drivers are the drivers that have always been installed. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron with their TruMobil wireless adapter. One of the desktops is a new e-Machine and its ethernet adapter is connected to a Linksys wireless transmitter and the third is a Sony Vaio and its ethernet connecter goes directly into the back of the Linksys wireless access point. The dsl modem (actually a Cisco 678 router) is connected to the WAP as well. The WAP is both WAP and 4-port switch. Yesterday, the dsl modem was showing up correctly on all three computers under My Network Connections and could be enabled and/or disabled from any of them. The only difference between then and now is that I applied sp2 to each of them. As I mentioned in my first message, I have disabled the windows firewall feature but it made no difference. Any ideas? Howard
