Service Pack 2 + No Web Access

[rflora]

Hello All,

I installed SP2 on a XP Pro machine, and now I cannot go on any websites! MSN messenger is also not connecting! Prior to SP2 installation everything worked just fine. Any clues please? .. Is there a hotfix available?

1. Click Start, click Run, type netsh winsock reset, and then press ENTER.
2. When the Command Prompt window flashes, restart the computer.

It most likely has something to do with the Windows Firewall within Control Panel. That gets installed with SP2...

Thanks, I'll give that a try and let you know if it worked.
