Oh the anger flows......microsoft grrr I h8 u you sons of *****es.
I have only just signed up to my new ISP freeserve and have looked forward to some (lagged 56k) enjoyable gaming. So you can imagine that one day in to using it I go to microsoft update and find NEW AND IMPROVED DIAL UP NETWORKING..........my arse.
I install it and restart my computer expecting maybe a little decrease in say my pings for CS or maybe even a faster webpage loading, even if it did nothing I could still bask in the knowledge that now I have up to date networking drivers right?
wrong after actually succesfully connecting to the internet I was none the wiserbut when clicking on internet explorer i was greeted with a blank page suggesting a DNS error etc..etc..
I started to worry but maybe it was in need of a reboot, or just that webpage was down? nope not one single page loads in IE6 not anymorei click the buttons and nothing happens I uninstalled it and reinstalled it NO LUCK. I did the same for dial up networking ...uninstall re-install many times before I accepted the truth.....I didnt have a clue what was wrong. And i still dont i cat play games because whenever it actually tries to anything thats consider networthy it quits the gameprograms like kazzaa are the same and u already know what IE6 is doing. itss wierd tho cos it dials up and connects normally...whats going on.
Could it have something to do with the extra things in the networking part of the control panel. (you know the one with dial up TCP/IP and windows logon.) now there are two dial up networking parts (One with VPN support) and there is another TCP/Ip thing to and another thing aswell.
Anyone know a possible solution? Cos i just dont think my luck could get any worse.
