re: Don't forget your monthly Microsoft Security updates...

Dang it, they killed my wireless network connection with that update. After the update I was getting a 'limited connectivity' message even though the signal strength was excellent. No e-mail, no internet, plus the workgroup went back to Workgroup instead of my named workgroup. It took me a few hours to fix it all, but in the end I fixed it by hardwiring the IP address and DNS numbers. Hopefully I don't have any more surprises like that one. I also changed my settings from automatic to notify me, so I don't waste another 3 hours during a time I should be doing something more important than fixing what they broke.
