Internet Connection Issues

I just installed the latest Windows Update (Windows 7 Security Update KB2286198). After installation and reboot, my wired internet connection does not work. I am sending packets, but not receiving any. The wireless works fine, but I share the wireless with roommates, and like to use the wired connection for fragging on BBA.
I tried uninstalling the update but then the wireless would not work either. I reinstalled the update and now I have wireless again, but wired still does not work.
Anyone know what I can do? Thanks.

You're not alone. Here is a link to the Microsoft Help forums:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/For ... 76fa3b4ef6
where users complain of a number of problems, from Hangs-on-restart to BSODs, starting on 8/2/10.
I suggest you read the whole thread before deciding what to try. And backup first.
=================
...I am trying to run Windows Update to get that update for my WinXPpro, but Update keeps claiming that it needs an Internet Connection, which I obviously have right now. (Firefox)
**added** update is not affecting my winXPproSP3.
I had to start the firewall icon, goto auto-updates and click on the update link. THEN the start-help&support-Update would connect to Internet.

Quick update: I tested it periodically throughout the day, and it did not work. However, just now I decided to try it one more time and the wired connection works fine!
Weird. Thanks for the help. I'll see how it is tomorrow.
