Re: Anybody successful with SP3?

Hi Just.some.guy,

I'm connecting to a Linksys WRT54g router.

The PC that I'm having the connectivity problem with is my main PC -- a Dell
E520 that uses a WG111 v2 54 Mbps adapter.

My 'spare' PC is an almost 7 year-old Dell 2300. That one has a Netgear
MA111 802.11b adapter, and so far that one is okay with SP3.

Go figure. :->

Hi Norm,

I had no problem with the actual SP3 installation. It took about 15
minutes
and proceeded to install without any hitches at all.

However, I began losing connectivity -- I use a wireless Netgear
adapter -- to the
Internet after installing SP3, although it hadn't been immediately
apparent.

Earlier this week, I first thought it was due to AVG 7.5 / AVG 8.0
issues.

However, overnight I lost connectivity again for no apparent reason, and
after spending an hour this morning uninstalling/reinstalling AVG and the
Netgear software -- and still being unable to get Internet connectivity
as
it looked...and looked...and looked to acquire an IP address -- I finally
just uninstalled
SP3.

I'll continue using SP2 for a while.

Alan


I have SP3 and I use a Netgear wireless USB adapter for my desktop...the
WG111T and it is working well. It connects to a modem/wireless router
combo.
