SP1 and internet woes

I updated my XP home with SP1, now my internet speed has slowedx down significantly, prgrams like pc-cillin cannot log on to the update server at startup up, and my homepage www.mynetscape.com will no longer load. Has anyone experienced this?
 
My internet connection still works fine, but after I installed SP1, I was unable to use any of my mapped network drives. When I click on a drive, which is mapped upon login, I get the hour glass and it sits there, forever.
 
I'm also having issues connecting to network drives after updating. :(

I was using the VPN to work with no problems prior to sp1.
 
wanst SP1 ment to "fix" problems with XP and not create more problems

Looks like Billy boy screwed up again, you just know there will be a patch to fix the problems that SP1 created
 
I applied SP1 a few days ago and have experienced none of these problems. I still get my broadband and can make my VPN tunnel as effectively as ever.

But I sympathise with those who have been hit by it.

Could XP be a victim of it's own complexity?
 
i havent experience anything of those problem, in fact my boot speed has increase......maybe you guys should try this: i slipstream sp1 and make a new xp bootable cd with sp1 on it, reformat and reinstall and it works very good
 
Service packs generally work much better when you do a clean install.....
 
I can't even install SP1. I downloaded it from M$ website and it just hangs after I click the next option to begin installing. And after hearing about all these problems I am a little leery to try to make it work. My philosiphy is simple, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
