For the past week or so, I have not been able to access the web consistently
-- same behavior with IE6 and Netscape. Secure pages (HTTPS) work all the
time. Unsecure pages work for a few hits, and then my computer seems to
stop recognizing replies. HTTPS pages continue to work.

A reboot will usually correct the problem, but only for a very short time.

I was running Win2K SP3, with all the pre-SP4 critical updates, and
everything worked fine. The problem appeared to start only after installing
the latest few critical (as of 10 days ago). I tried uninstalling the last
few, but the problem persisted. These updates were all identified as "SP4"

Don't really know whether these updates caused the problem or not, but the
timing seems suspicious. Has anyone else noticed this sort of behavior? Or
has anyone any idea how to fix things (apart from a complete reinstall of
WIN2K)?

Thanks.
