After that I lost all access to the internet. I could not load any pages outside my network, including the setup page from modem. I could not download e-mail or access the net in any other way. At first I thought I might have a virus. Fortunately I also have a Linux machine running in the office and I could access the the internet with it. Eventually I found out that this upgrade (KB951748) is causing a problem for anyone using [url=http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/home.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en]Zone Alarm[/url]. This problem only affects Windows2000 and Windows-XP users. It doesn't affect Vista. If you are using Zone Alarm as a firewall on your PC, turn it off and you will be able to access the net. Of course you only want to do that as a test. I'm not recommending turning off Zone Alarm for good. You can use the 'Add/Remove Programs' utility to remove the update. Look for 'Windows 2000 Hotfix - KB951748' in the programs list and remove it. Unfortunately, the next time Windows Update runs it will see that the update is missing and will try to re-install it. [url=http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/home.jsp]Zone Labs[/url] has published [url=http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/pressReleases/2008/LossOfInternetAccessIssue.html]an update to Zone Alarm[/url]which should fix the problem. I hope my experience will be useful to anyone else having a problem with this update. Of course, if you're reading this, you've probably already solved the problem, or never had it in the first place. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
