Re: Internet Connection Lost After Installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (WinXP SP2)

I've got WinSockXpFix.exe and I even started it, but when I tried to
run registry backup I got a bunch of errors, which I found
discouraging, and stopped for now. I'll give it a shot later.

On the other hand - judging from some other discussion thread I read on
a similar subject - I would think that since I can ping successfully
(at least withing my local network) the problem is not with the tcp/ip
stack. I could be wrong here.

One more piece of information. The problem does not seem to be limited
to the browser only. My MSN Messenger refuses to connect either, and
it doesn't seem like Windows Update is able to connect either. Does
this preclude some malware trying to hijack the browser? I have
Firefox installed and I tried it too after the first installation of
SP2, but I couldn't connect anywhere. I can give it another spin, but
I suspect the outcome will be similar.
