Finally got connected!! That d@#& Microsoft Security Update, KB951748, not only conflcted with our Zone Alarm firewall, it also blew out our modem, so even though I was able to fire up WebTV and see how to remove the update, I still couldn’t get us connected last night.

I dreaded calling ATT but called a while ago, and April got me re-connected to the internet. So, all is good in my world again!

I saw a thread about that update. As far as I know, I’ve avoided the problem. Zonealarm and connectivity are OK!

Where’s the thread about this update... I think I did the MS update, haven’t noticed any problems.

Heh, SirKit thought his hard drive might have been fried by an electrical problem with his laptop. He took it to a guy in town to see if the data could be recovered. Turns out, Norton Go Back had gotten frazzled, and wasn't letting the computer boot up. The guy said it took 12 hours to get all the info out of the garble. The hard drive was fine, and the guy put all the data onto a thumb drive so SirKit could use it on the Dell laptop, for which he had bought a new docking station and battery. So he's back in bidness, except I think he still wants a new laptop. ;o)

The crucial thing was that all our most recent tax info was on that hard drive, and we needed it for the college financial aid stuff, and SirKit had forgotten to make hard copies of the tax returns when he filed them. So unlike him.
