Lost all Local Connectivity After Windows Update
HELLO -
I have been networking three home computers successfully for some time. Yesterday I downloaded the two most recent XP/Home Priority Updates, and today I have suddenly lost all connectivity to the computer to which I downloaded the updates. The other two computers continue to view each other just fine. I've ran the Wizard numerous times, and also tried renaming the computer, and the Workgroup too without success. I also tried disabling the Firewall - no luck. I'm usiing a Verizon FIOS Internet gateway. [Internet connection is fine to all three machines]. THANX in advance for any suggestions.

Lost all Local Connectivity After Windows Update
Hi
If you lost all connectivity including Internet it might be that the Network hardware configuration is "Trashed". Use the info in this page to find out, http://www.ezlan.net/debug.html If the Internet still working you probably need to go over the Sharing setting of the computer. Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared. Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Windows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Printer Sharing XP - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 Jack (MVP-Networking).

Lost all Local Connectivity After Windows Update
THANX JACK - so much !
Things look OK now. I installed NetBuei, and this seems to have done the trick. [BTW - one of the other machines is Win98]. I also disabled the Windows Firewall, and my Anti Virus Firewall [AVG 8.0]. I will re-enable just the AVG Firewall, and pray that everything will still be OK. My three machines are one Win98, one XP/SP2, and this one - XP/SP3. Does this combination seem stable to you, or should I do something more?
