I'm still pretty green on Windows, but I think if my Windows Update failed and caused problems, the first thing I would try would be to go back a few days or so and do a System Restore.

Anybody else have a suggestion?

I wish I had suggestions. I rebuilt my system weekend before last and when problems cropped up less than a week later I attempted a series of restores, which did not "take", and the OS did not allow an "undo" of the restore.

Windows XP.
I now have a 30-pound doorstop.

Hey thanks, but that was the first thing I did. And have tried numerous times, using different dates, for several months past. It really seems like TCP/IP connectivity doesn't respond to that fix. Thanks for the response though!

I can't say this enough to anybody who'll listen. Image your machine(s).. Don't care what you use - Ghost, Drive Image, etc. You may need to purchase a CD burner or a second HD, but it's well worth it. I re-image at least once a week. Takes all of 20 minutes and !voila!, I'va got a clean install - all apps, settings, etc - just the way I left 'em.
