There are reports that SP2 breaks the connectivity of some LAN
connections.
You'll get an error message saying: "Limited or no connectivity".
For me, it means that the on-board LAN won't work, while a PCI LAN
card does just fine. There's a small bunch of people with the same
problem for completely different hardware.
This may nor may not be relevant to you. It depends on where the
blockage is in your system.
