Yeah I know. Here's what happened: started with bare PC, installed XP
SP1 from my original disk, installed wifi drivers and everything worked.
Ran Windows update and installed SP2. Everything fine so far. Ran update
and installed SP3. Everything appeared to work; following a restart the
internet was gone. Network Connections reported the connection as
firewalled; disabling it made no difference. Reinstalled the wifi card,
no difference. Physically removed the card from the machine and replaced
with a dongle; again no difference.

Something strange certainly happens with SP3 - but since it's mainly about
stopping viruses etc it's not surprising.
I have a RISC OS machine networked to a PC running XP (just for file
sharing where appropriate) and after installing SP3 this stopped working.
Regardless of the state of firewalls, etc. But only on DiscC. F continues
to share ok.
