Hi Alan,

Thank you for your input. In fact it is a wireless adapter on DELL D620. I tried to uninstall it from the control panel add/remove programs but it is not listed there. How do I go about uninstalling it?

Right click on My Computer/Properties/Hardware tab/Device Manager button and you'll find it in there. Right click on it to uninstall it.

Hi zama86,

You don't say in your post, but I'm assuming that you're using a wireless adapter.

I -- and many others -- have experienced loss of connectivity after installing SP3. Some of the people have posted about this problem here in this group, and various Web Forums are beginning to have other users reporting this issue.

It doesn't seem to affect ALL users or computers -- in fact I'm posting this message from an old Dell Dimension 2300 with a Netgear 11 Mbps wireless adapter and with SP3 installed.

However, on my newer Dell Dimension E520 with a Netgear 54 Mbps wireless adapter, the only way I could get connectivity to the Web was to uninstall SP3.

I know that some of the Microsoft techs are aware of this, as I have seen their comments in a few of the SP3-related forums.

Yesterday I updated my Windows XP professional on my laptop using automatic
updates and Service pack 3 was installed. After this installation took place,
the message "limited or no connectivity" kept poping up and connection to
internet failed. I checked internet connection on another PC to be sure that
the problem was not from my internet service provider.

I tried to reinstall network adapters drivers but the message "limited or no
connectivity" kept appearing. I also attempted to system restore to a
checkpoint before the service pack 3 was installed but still failed.

Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem, please. thanks in advance
for your help.
