i will later tonight.
there was one network iv6 firewall related one but i didnt install it
its odd cos protowall says i am connected and is still blocking and allowing packets but nothing will connect

you still havent told us how you connect to the internet. but anyway, that ipv6 firewall thing mighthave something to do with the problem, although I have it installed, along with all other updates available, and have no problems at all....

but here is something to try: (this is only if you have high speed internet, through ethernet)
go to control panel>network connections>double click the connection>click support.

now write down what it says for ip adress, subnet mask, and gateway.

now install all of the updates and if the internet connection has stopped working, go to the same place again (you might wanna write down how to get there) and check to see if the ip adress and stuff are still the same,if not then try going:

back to the general tab>click properties>now double-click the internet protocol (tcp\ip) protocol stack and make sure that OBTAIN AN IP ADRESS AUTOMATICALLY and OBTAIN DNS SERVER AUTOMATICALLY are enabled. if not then enable them (unless ur isp install manual tells u differently)

well good luck, and post back with what happens!

One of the updates may have enabled the XP firewall..?

i cant be bothered to be honest now guys. I have installed the roll back and that works. The other updates arent critical and are mostly things that microsoft wants u to install to promote themselves.

thanks for help neway and if it ever occurs again, will let u know what happens
