And have their LAN connection stop working afterward? Or was it just me?

I got it and had no issues, it hasnt come up on TechNet yet either... could just be you. Try reinstalling your drivers.

That didn't do it sadly. I fooled around with it all night and still have not been able to update without losing my internet connection.
I *might* have the same problem as you. I don't remember enabling my LAN connection and then this morning it said that it was disconnected...ie: it's enabled now. I use wireless though so it isn't going to affect anything I do, but I just find it weird.

Nope. I use Vista.
not until 2010
they stopped selling XP but they'll keep supporting it for some time. I can't quite remember how long but for a good while atleast (year or two i think.)
Rick, i haven't had any problems. Are you on a Wired or Wireless LAN?
It's gonna sound redundant but have you tried basic reconnection methods? resetting the router and such.

I "heard" because of demand they're extending it to 2014. Though the source was a non-professional on the internet, though a trustworthy person.
hmmm I'd follow what anorexia posted in his thread and just uninstall it for now.
nixed the xp question. It sounds like zone alarm is at fault here. vv
on second thought, i'd get rid of zone alarm. I've used it before and while it's not a bad firewall it kills my down/up stream. I just use the standard windows firewall, have for 2-3 years now and don't have any problems what so ever.
