Internet won't connect to wireless nomore

[IAntDemo]

If you have a wireless connection and one day it suddenly doesn't show your router then it's an obvious microsoft update, if you have automatic updates on it may just update your wireless drivers which can cause it to not connect to the router or even see the router in wireless connections.

Roll back with a system restore to before some of the last updates then turn off certain updates in the mircosoft updates...

this should fix it

Speaking of Windows Update screwing up internet; if you have Windows Firewall shut off (because you have an external firewall), when WIndows Vista automatically updates, it will turn Firewall back on, causing all kinds internet weirdness.

In that case, you have to go back in and turn Windows Firewall off again making sure the options under the Advanced tab are turned off as well, then reboot Windows. Verify that the Firewall did turn off; sometimes it takes a couple tries.

Safest way to get your correct updates is to set windoze to go look for them, tell me about them, but not to install them. Pick the ones you want and install those.
Simple...

Easy... if you have only one computer. I 'administrate' seven machines in my home; finding time to sit at each one to check for udpates...
