Win7 update kills Internet
I have a slightly different system to most:
I receive my Internet signal via a WAP. Due to the local terain, I have my WAP located as high as possible in the ceiling of my house and then run an RJ45 cable to a wireless router. This router then feeds 3 different computers by cable and a netbook by wireless. Only one of the computers has Win7 installed.
All computers were running well up to midday yesterday. I was on the Win7 computer when it suddenly shut down the application I was using and started to install the latest updates. It didn't give me a chance to save what I was doing and then proceeded to re-boot. After the re-boot, I discovered my connection to the Internet had gone!
I checked my IP tables to see if anything had been changed, but everything was OK.
Has anyone else experienced this behaviour (and, no, I haven't fixed the problem - I'm using one of the other computers to write this post).
