I have a W2000pro box with Motorola Bitsurfer Pro ISDN. After installing W2K SP1, I could connect to my ISP but could not access the web or e-mail. I uninstalled SP1, now everytime I disconnect from my ISP I must reboot my system before I can connect again. Any ideas to the failed SP1 install or the current problem?

Check and see if the modem drivers were possibly replaced by SP1? Doubt it, but possible. If you are behind a firewall or proxy server, be sure and check all the proper settings in your browser. You also may want to check the .dll files used by DUN in 2k and maybe try the old pre-SP1 DLL files.

Tried that to. Been completely through everything, including un-installing and re-installing DUN. Firewall being used was Zone Alarm. Diabled, uninstalled, reset, no dice. It worked fine for months after installing Zone Alarm.

Two things that have happened to me

1. Somehow a proxy got enabled in the dialup settings under iE coneection tab. Drove me nuts when this person was remote and somehow got it set.

2. I saw a couple of instances that after installing sp1,the protocol access somehow got all screwed up. Actually, I'm not sure what this is called because it's been months sense i've looked at it and i'm not in front of my 2000 machine to check. It actually has to do with locking down ports and specific protocols (like ftp or http). It should be under your networking properties.

Good luck to you.

Actually the entire problem seemed to be caused by the install of an FTP client. Along with the modem problems, I have found numerous other issues. In fact, the last 5 hours have been spent loading w2k on a new drive, loading all software fresh, and reconfiguring all setups my way.

Thanks for the comments
