Off Topic: Internet Magically Disappear? Two Patches May be to Blame
I spent much of the morning pinging and checking various cables trying to get my “school” machine (Win XP) online. Nope, it wasn’t my hardware or settings in Windows. It was incompatible updates between Zone Alarm (my firewall) and the latest XP patch. I tracked it to the firewall before I read this C|net explanation.
In retrospect, I learned quite a lot working with all those tech support folks at the various software companies for which I worked. It comes in very handy when you are on your own. Note to folks who may want to be consultants: learn lots about troubleshooting your machine(s) while you have tech support!
