I've just installed SP2 after downloading all Windows updates first. I
installed from CD after checking with Microsoft that I didn't have any
conflicting programs.
As soon as it finished installing, I disabled their firewall, as I prefer
AVG.
Now when I connect to the Internet, it appears to connect OK (two little
monitors down in the bottom right hand corner), but I cant open any web
page, post to newsgroups or get mail.
I've checked my Internet settings which seem OK.
So what's the problem.
Any help appreciated.
