Hi,
 
A major problem that is bugging the hell out of me. I have Win2k Pro, IE 5.5
and DUN. All worked fine. I then decided to install SP1 for Win2k.
Now my DUN and IIS do not work - when I say work I mean I can dial out,
connect to the internet but can cannot get mail or web pages to load.
In my network settings for DUN I have TCP and Microsoft File & Printer
sharing installed. To get DUN network to work, I have to delete DUN,
reinstall IE 5.5, and then reinstall DUN, it then works. Then once I install
MS File & printer sharing for IIS to work, it no longer works again. I have
tried to delete SP1 for still cannot get it to work.
Is this a problem witb IE 5.5, and if so, how do I delete it when its not in
my add remove programs.
 
In my network settings in control panel I have listed Direct Parallel and
Wan Miniport listed - if this helps.
 
Hope anyone can give guidance,
 
Hopelessly confused,
 
Scott

haha, funny you should ask, not so funny that i don't have an answer for you. I have had the exact same problems! I've installed sp1 before anything too, (off my slipstreamed win2kSP1cd) and still i have no luck, so i installed regular win2k, installed sp1, ie5.5, etc....it screwed it up, so i uninstalled sp1....guess what? all's well. I dunno, i know many people's computers work fine after sp1, but mine don't (both of them). So if anyone has an answer, please, for the love of god, answer this question!

The key is probably installing the service pack IE 5.5, and any other patches in the order that they were released.
 
Just my guess.

Bugger this, sp1 is complete nightmare. The only thing that could be a problem is if you upgraded from Win98 like I did. So I have had to take drastic action. I have deleted Winnt folder (after booting into win98), copied settings in my settings folder and mail etc and then reinstaleed Win2k. Then I have had to reinstall all my programs so Win2k stores them in the registry, but most still work anyway as did not delete Program Files etc. Now everything works fine, IIS works, DUN works . But I am not installing IE5.5 stay with 5.01 and next I will try an install SP1. Miny you, saved about 400meg of space.

Just got everything running spot on i.e Intenet Explorer, IIS etc. So then it was time to try SP1 again. Downloaded fine. Run Internet Explorer, logged on, connected to ISP Ok but still no bloady data getting to the browser or Outlook. Tried to update IE, no way, kept bigging out. So, removed SP1, rebooted, and guess what, can now get on the Internt, get e-mails etc , IIS is OK. So the moral of the story is - DONT INSTALL SP1.

Just solved the problem. I have zonealarm installed, and accoding to updates at zdnet its what is causing all my problems, and so have downloaded the patch . I am still sceptical but may give it another go soon.
