thanx but the only restore point is the new years update.
the error was something like there is no web address assigned to yahoo
i plugged it into someone elses modem, i can see in my netowrk connections..its recognizing that there is internet access available but explorer can not find any pages
im pretty confused..especially since it was fine..then auto updates..then restart..and no internet access
Vista automatically creates System Restore points before it installs Windows Updates, so if the available system restore point is the one on New Years day, and if the problem started after that update was installed, that seems to me to be the right restore point.
You have two choices. Either System Restore back to that point, or investigate further, but with so few details that System Restore seems the easiest.
If you don't want to do that, then tell us more.
1] Which update was it?
2] What is the Full Wording of any error messages?
Since this is an Internet Explorer problem try this. Open IE, goto Tools > Internet Options, then the Connections tab.
In the Connections tab click the "LAN Settings" button. If you do not use any Proxy Server, and if that new dialog window has any entries in it, remove all the entries, then click OK/Apply/OK. Close down IE, restart it and try again.
