After installing SP2 my computer could not find the router and I had no
(zero) internet access. I used restore to get to 'normal' operations. I
tried to find answers at Gateway and Microsoft and came up empty. Does
anyone have resources I can use to figure out how to configure SP2 firewall
to work with my computer? So I need to uninstall any popup blockers,
anti-virus, or spyware? Any assistance will be appreciated.

TIA.

I read them, but I must not be smart enough to understand what I read. I
appreciate the assistance though.
