Why did your ISP say about the problem?

After installing SP2 my computer tries to connect to the internet but can't
find my server. I am on a dsl connection via the ethernet .
I have turned off the firewall but the problem still exists.
After a systems restore to a pre sp2 date everything works fine.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

SP2 will generate a whale of a lot of error messages relating to
"server" that refer to XP Services and not to a network server. The
exact error message and some Google research is usually necessary (at
least for me), with a bit of Event Viewer thrown into the mix, to
correct the error. OOW, what is the exact text of the error message?
