winxp sp2 install broke my network

Hi,
I just installed win xp sp2 on my laptop and now my wireless network stopped
working. I cannot connect to my other computer in the network nor connect to
the internet. Status of network connection to the laptop seems ok since all
info I can see from my Netgear admin program indicates a good connection. I
have also disabled the xp-firewall. I have no other firewall except in the
router and no antivirussoftware. I have a standalone pc connected to the
network (winxp sp1) and this one is working ok i.e. have access to the
internet. The standalone pc cannot
see the laptop on the network. What should I check?

Thanks for any help.

I had same problems with wireless network, I just uninstalled sp2 and all is
well again.....i turned off xp firewall and installed outpost....very good
firewall and recognises wireless networks...this along with a updated
antivirii prog should be all you need on xp sp1

First of all check where your laptop gets it's ip address from. Is it correct?

I've found this on two of five SP2 installs: TCP/IP filtering is locked
down in the Permit Only state, essentially blocking any network
activity. Open the failed connection, TCP/IP properties, General tab,
Advanced Properties, Options tab, TCP/IP filtering properties, Enable
filtering and change Permit Only to Permit All for all ports/protocols.
I believe that this is due to a security center problem with non-sp2
compatible firewalls or anti-virus and the "I'll manage the
settings...".

Q

I had the same problem and went to the Netgear site which suggested:
1. Power down all computers and devices.
2. Restart the Modem, router and computers, in that order.
3. All was well immediately upon re-boot.

I turned off the WZC service after a experiencing the same thing and now
everything works fine. I think that service and my adapter's driver were both
trying to set the configuration and gettinginto a pi**ing contest. I confess
that I don't really know what the ramifications are of turning this service
off.

(FROM MSKB: Windows Zero Configuration (WZC) is the Windows service that
automatically configures 802.11 wireless network devices.)

Sigh. You'd think it would be programmed to recognize when another device
was already handling that only offer (as an option) to take over if it had a
better way of doing it. I'm using a MS wireless adapter for cryin' out loud.

I had the same problem. After installing service pack 2 my netgear wireless
network showed good signal but i couldnt get connection to the internet..
There was a TCP/IP setting that was messed up. I downloaded a winsock.exe
from the microsoft site installed it and all went boooom working all
right..Maybe try it will work

Hi M@N,

The most likely reason why you may be experiencing this issue is due to
incompatibilities between the driver for your wireless adapter and SP2.
Please let me
know vendor and model your wireless adapter is from, as well as what driver
version it is using. I can also make a more detailed diagnosis if you
supply wireless logs. You can do this by:

1.. Start -> Run -> CMD
2.. type: netsh ras set tra * ena
3.. Reboot your machine to clean state
4.. Take note of the time and reproduce your wireless problem
5.. Navigate to your %windir%\tracing directory
6.. Send the following log files as attachments to
(E-Mail Removed):
1.. wzctrace.log
2.. eapol.log
3.. rastls.log
4.. wzcdlg.log
5.. netman.log
6.. netshell..log
5. Plus any of the .old version of these files if they exist (e.g.
wzctrace.old, eapol.old)

Please include the specific time of your repro with your reply
