all network adapters lost after installing Vista Update KB947562

I have lost the ability to access the wireless adapter on my new vista
laptop, my new vista desktop network adapter, my HP printer network adapter,
and my wireless router. All have been working for months in all cases but the
laptop which is only a month old and working. After installing the above
mentioned Vista update on both machines I can now only access the internet by
hard wiring the cable modem to the desktop and having re-enabled the desktop
network card after restoring to a point before the Vista update installation.
However since I can not access the wireless router without being online with
it I can't fix the the other adapters. Obviously this is not hardware
specific nor is the IPv6 issue pertainent since it is enabled before the
latest update and worked just fine.
Solution needed. Thanks
Bruce

Have you reset the wireless router?

Robert,
After several resets of the router and modem the system is working again.
