SOLVED Re: [Gllug] OT: Windows XP refuses internet access

[Dylan]

I'm sure you'll excuse TOFU in this instance....

So, it's now two hours later.
I have d/loaded one service pack, one update to the service pack, several 
(nay, 28!!!) security and critical updates, and the latest edition of Windoze 
Media player. And now, the next thing I have to do is update Windoze Media 
Player.

WTF do these untrained chimps think they are doing? (No, seriously, that's a 
rhetorical question) Maybe 1000 of them dumped in front of MS Orifice for 
long enough will come up with the complete works of Shakespere [complete with 
spelling errors]) Or is that what we already have?????

Think the vino is getting to me
