Same here, I installed the new SP2 and since I cannot connect to my NETGEAR
108MBPS router using the WPA encryption which I had working for a few months
before SP2.
If I try to activate any kind of encryption, I get disconnected from the
network (wired and wireless) every few seconds or I simply get no connection
at all.
Everything works fine without the encryption/security!
Any ideas!
