Nope. After installing KB967715, GPO settings must be changed.

I do have one correction to my previous reply: After installing KB967715, "Autorun features for network drives [may] no longer function. This is because, by default, Autorun on network drives is set to disabled in the registry, and after the update is installed, the previously set registry key to disable Autorun on network drives will be properly enforced. This is the only functionality that will change by default after the update is installed. Users will still need to update the registry key values to disable Autorun functionality for USB and CD-ROM drives." (Source: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/967940.mspx)

If the key is the only thing for sure it creates I will manually create that
key to try to solve my issue in another thread.

OK, or you could see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953252. (If you install KB953252 and then make the recommend/desired changes, you will not need to install KB967715 nor should it be offered to the machine. Also see the Workarounds section of KB953252.)

you connect via a wireless USB modem, and even that's a stretch.

Ugh. Has another Norton (or a McAfee) application ever been installed
(e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled on the machine when you
bought it)?

Why would this kill my internet access? I completely disabled the
firewall
for a few minuites and tried to go online, but still no luck.
I un-installed the kb967715 update and had no problems with netwark
access.
Just to be sure it was the kb967715 update, I re-loaded the update and
the
result was the same, NO internet access.

I called ATT when this happened and the network OK. MY PC was not though.
I have a windowsupdate.log file of my last update install
