Are the Microsoft patches giving you trouble this month? Maybe your peers can help - describe the problems you are having.
One of the patches caused existing shares not to work and could not navigate to other network computers. Able to surf and ping but no responses. Not sure which one, i just removed them all and worked, multiple machines experienced this issue.
Having similar problem for some machines (all XP not on Windows 7 though) can ping, but can't connect to shares or in our case Internet either. Everything running very slowly as well. Can't find out where it is yet and don't have time to research it properly yet. Need ot get it all working again and then maybe look at it. This is the second time (August 2012) that MS updates have caused a major problem. Just can not trust them anymore so will have to implement an agressive change control which is difficult in such a small department. We are not all big corporate IT departments.
If you don't "trust" Microsoft, delay deploying/installing them for a few days. Check Microsoft's forums and see if there are any issues during those days.
Can't trust Microsoft after two goofs? And this after how many successful updates? [Boy if you were using an iPhone, you would of dumped it by now!]

We are having similar problems and can't find any information.
Were you able to find a fix?

I downloaded and installed them last night. One of them caused my Windows 7 box to crash, followed by a recovery screen, followed by some 9700 processes running very fast followed by a reboot. Eventually recovered and worked ok.
Come on Microsoft, you can do better than that!

Installed the Win 7 updates on my host and a VM. No issues. I guess it depends on what you have installed. [Some people had blamed MS when Win XP SP3 would not install but it was later learned that many of those failed installed was because remnants of malware were still on the system. Still blame MS?]
Actually Debra it's not a particularly light month for non-security updates; MS012-009 (KB2792100) if you'll notice also contains 15 Non-security-related fixes for Internet Explorer, many of which are for IE10! 
Had 10 workstations lose network connection, restarting them brought it back although two I had to release and renew then disable the network card then shut down again before they regained connectivity. Windows 7 machines had to restore and turn off the auto update. Everything is back up and running for now....
I am super gun shy at installing any updates as I do this remotely for our office ( I work offsite). I am looking at the updates currently available for the machines for example,
KB890830, KB2799494, KB2790655, KB2790113, KB2778344, KB2789642, KB2789643, KB2789645... I haven't really approved any of them.. even though I've created a restore point on the first of 4 machines I need to deploy these things to I haven't deployed them because i'm scared it'll screw something up... any advice?
