I got a balloon in the task bar saying that there was an update for Windows about an hour ago. I went and downloaded and installed it. Not sure what it was, but it had some sort of license agreement to it. Anyways, it installs and I reboot.
Now I have no internet at all. No IM, no e-mail, no Firefox, no nothing. Unfortunately I also have System Restore turned off and have had it off for a while as I thought it was a waste of disk space. So now I'm stuck with an XP partition that has no internet connectivity and I can't reverse it back to what it used to be.
Oh and I know Windows is the problem because I'm using Ubuntu on the exact same machine and the internet works just fine.
Anyone have any ideas?
Edit - Well it looks like the connection came back. Not sure how I did it, but I took a trip through the home network setup wizard, restarted, seemed like nothing was done, but then suddenly I get internet back. I'm guessing either that did it or something else was just screwy with my connection and now it's normal.
