compatibility update kills network

any one else have the problem of when you install the compatibility or
reliability update and reboot your netwok connection is lost and only way to
get it back is to restore

 

Yes, the same thing happened to me. I did the uninstall and all is good. I
now have that same update waiting to be reinstalled. You may not be getting
alot of response to your post because this has happenned to others and they
have not figured out the problem yet.

 

do you have a broadcomm network adapter

 

No

 

Also see 'microsoft.public.security.homeusers' @
"Issues with August Updates - Vista" for review of
current update problems.

Travis - you asked about a broadcomm network adaptor-
co-incidental to doing the MS updates, I had just down-
loaded the latest Nvidia/Catalyst update and noticed that
it also loaded a broadcomm USB driver, making about the
fifth (all different) USB driver for me in the past fortnight.
Does this make a difference with the MS update problem?

dont know i was just looking for commanality

i am now trying to check all my drivers to see if thy are all signed and
then will try update again

 

Don't know if this is related, but I had to enable 'intranet' settings and
then it worked fine. Appears that intranet settings are now turned off by
default.

 

GOT IT WORKING

i had installed this
Vista tcpip.sys Connection Limit Patch

apparantly the update makes it show up as not digitally signed and blocks it

RePLACED the tcpip.sys file in system32/drivers folder with another
unmodified file
