Installed KB941644 - Started having internet problems soon after..

[aafraz4]

Hi guys,

I would really appreciate if any of you could help. Basically, after
installing the windows update patch # KB941644, I have started to have
problem with my internet. Basically, internet works fine for some time and
then suddenly webpages stop loading (time out) or load very very slowly. I am
still puzzled as to what
the cause is. It is bizarre because my msn messenger connection never
disconnects which means I remain connected to the internet throughout. Also,
there are periods of time when everything works fine / webpages load very
quickly.
Now I have uninstalled this patch, and everything is back to normal.

Has anybody else experienced the same? Is there anyway I can apply this
update but still have working internet (since I realize at some point I will
have to apply this update even though right now I have uninstalled it
completely)?
Thanks!

FYI - I have Windows Vista Home Premium (Dell Inspiron 1520).

Perhaps you have a worm which is tying up all your connections?

I am running XP SP2 pro and have seen a dramatic slow down after this
patch.

I think this is because I am a network admin, and I run a lot of
software. I have VMWare workstation running. I have my webfilter
interface up, my firewall interfaces, my e-mail, Access Database over
a network, Console-One, etc with views over multiple monitors.

I have a batch file which does a "net use" to 250 machines on a WAN
connected network so I can admin them (we just bought the place,
haven't merged forests yet.) This was taking 15 minutes to run.
After the patch it takes 1 hour and the machine is locked during that
hour -- that's running them all at the same time. If I run the net
use in sync, it takes 8 hours to complete but the machine's usable.

I think XP/Vista just are not made for Administrator workstations.
The impact shouldn't be seen by most people, except perhaps p2p'ers.

Mine was worse actually...I started getting blue screens all the time
the server 2003 sp2 machine started up. Complained about tcpip.sys. I
uninstalled it and the server was fine again.
