I installed the latest MS patches and after rebooting, my wireless
network refused to connect. It still showed excellent signal strength
but was unable to establish a connection. I tried using both the
adapter's client (Intel PRO Set) and the standard Windows client,
with identical results.
Then I uninstalled the patches and this fixed the problem.
The patches that were installed and then removed were:
913807
An Outlook 2003 patch
905756
An Excel 2003 patch
913161
Outlook Spam definitions update
912475
A quirky Australians are changing their time zones patch
Those 4 came out last night - all fairly trivial - if you had Office
closed, Windows did not enforce a reboot on installing them. I have
not seen any issue with them
912945
Is an ActiveX change
904942
Outlook (express?) patch.
Seems very weird that any of these patches would get anywhere close to
Windows' networking stack. I have over 15 machines patched without
incident.
I have a fully patched Dell Inspiron here that I am able to associate
with multiple access points.
