Re: network settings and WU ... ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

PA Bear, thanks for the reply. My initial problem - I lost internet access after installing 13 or 16 updates. I rolled back the registry, installed the updates in smaller and everything seemed fine. At this point, I have no way of knowing what update, what specific update, caused the problem.

Is there any specific network settings file I can keep tabs on?

Since you know more about this issue than I, could you suggest a specific update that probably caused my problem and I'll contact MS re that or those update(s).

Thanks, DH

There was an update a few days ago that caused some of us to lose our
network connection. It might have just been a coincidence however.

A simple question - I remember under Windows 98 that there was a network
'file' taht contained the settings. This was a long time ago but I remember
if I had a problem I could reinstall that file. I'm using Vista Home
Premium and the only way around this problem (which happened again this
morning) was to roll back the registry to an earlier date.

Is there a 'network file' in Vista (other than the entire registry) ?
