SP2 messed my wireless network up

Today I installed SP2 from windows update. I had to wait
about an hour for it to install on my laptop. Then it
screwed up my microsoft wireless network. I could not
get it to work until I un-installed SP2 after trying all
day. I am pretty upset that Microsoft would release this
service pack without knowing that it would screw up their
wireless software.

THANKS A LOT MICROSOFT!!! :-(

Welcome to the club. It did the exact same thing to me. I
manage to be booted from my home wireless network on
average of three to five times an hour and cannot keep a
steady internet connection on the computer using the
adapter. My connection has gone from showing
as "Excellent" to "Very Good". Let me tell you, there is
a huge difference between the two.

I've been no so lucky:

Installed SP2. Totally screwed my wireless network
Uninstalled SP2, and my 2 laptops do not see the base
station!!!!!!!!!!
I can go into Internet from the PC that has the base
station and the cable modem, but that's about it.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Alejandro

I'm at a loss to understand all the problems with SP2. I'm running SP2 and
my MN-820 setup works perfectly.

What did you check? I'm running SP2 on seven or eight machines here without
a whimper, and never had to change anything. What hardware are you using on
your LAN, and can you describe your setup?

Also, have you installed the latest Base Station firmware upgrade?

Dick Kistler

I have uninstalled SP2 and still cannot get my network to
work.
I have a Base Station (MN-500) connected to my desktop PC
(a cable modem is connected to the base station)
I can access internet with my desktop with no problems.
Then I have 2 laptops
One with MN-520 wireless network adapter, the other 1
with integrated network adapter.
These 2 laptops used to connect to the base station with
no problems at all.
Now I cannot get them to access the base station.
I reinstalled and reconfigured the base station on my PC,
but to no avail.

Please help!!!!!!

Thanks
