Since installing SP2 my Broadband, or Lan connection has suddenly reported Limited or No Connectivity. Whilst ive checked my Lan settings, network config etc i cant find what the problem is. Ive had a play and it hasnt reported a problem for a few days.

Has anyone else come across this and got a proper fix?

What applications are you using and have you tried contacting your ISP's tech support?

I do know that SP2 limits the number of connections you can achieve and for some applications that results in a slow down but without more information it's a bit hit and miss at the mo as to what the problem could be.

If you haven't already, rerun the wireless connection wizard to create a new connection.

Also try a 'repair' on the connection.

SP2 includes a lot of extra security features for wireless networks, so its unlikely it will work 'straight out of the box' when you upgrade.

ive done all of the obvious stuff. trying repair reports that it can not repair the connection because of Limited or No Connectivity.
