Had the same problem - KB951748 stopped internet access.

Uninstalling KB951748 using Win XPs add/remove programs worked for me.

I'm not much interested in lowering my firewall security settings for an update that apparently wasn't given a "real world" trial.

The glitch in this update does needs a bit of fixing.

me:
Windows XP SP3
Zone Alarm Firewall

Uninstall Zone Alarm. Enable Windows firewall. This security date is very important and everyone -- even Linux users -- need it.

After downloading and installing the three updates available as of 07/08/08 I found that I could no longer access the internet. My wireless connection was perfect, I even used the Microsoft Diagnostic Tool, and it said that there was an issue with my router or my ISP. I did System Restore, which fixed the problem, went onto Microsoft.com and did the 3 updates one at a time untill i discovered that Security Update for Windows XP (KB951748) was the issue. Microsoft, please fix this update.

I, too, could not get on the net after the KB951748 update. I encourage Microsoft to do a search on the update so they could see how many hits there are already, and to take this update off of the critical list. T
hankfully, I do not allow XP to automatically download and install updates. Otherwise, I might have not been able to find the source of the problem so quickly.
