    Very strange internet error

    Now before you say this belongs in Internet explorer, I have tried to use
    Mozilla Firefox and it has the same problem. The problem is that I cannot
    view any webpages. I click on Diagnose Connection and it says nothing is
    wrong. This started right after I installed an "important update" from
    windows update. Everything was fine until the update was installed. I am
    currently using an old xp laptop to post this (in case you were wondering).
    I normally use a compaq presario T2080 and It has Windows Vista Home Premium.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    What was the "important update"? Uninstall it and see what happens.

    I uninstalled it and it works now. I don't know why but it seems that it
    was the cause of the problem. The update was one released on 2/13/08. I
    don't know
