I blew away most of the weekend on this one. Stupid me - shudda come here
first! My brand-new palmtop was working fine on the wireless network. Then
auto-update took me to SP3. No more connection to network, thou wired
connection was OK. I believed it to be something with Linksys setup. I'm no
novice but this stumped me for hours. Then on phone with Linksys and they
gave up. Then read, on many 'sites', "roll back to SP2". I did and it
worked immediately. I'll be watching for the "reason" for this.

| On June 20th Windows Auto Update installed KB950126 on my computer. After

| found that KB950126 was the last to be installed. I was able to uninstall
| this update and was then able to reconnect to the internet. Yeah for me!!! I

| Update on until now. Can someone tell me what might have happened? I have
| disabled Auto Upated for now. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
