Posted August 17, 200717 yr The 08-14-07 Auto updates apparently changed some settings in my Newwork and sharing center and I could not login until I ran diagnostic and asked for an IP address and then it immediately connected but keeps trying to find a public connection. The little circle in Vista keeps spinning but lets me connect until I restart the computer and then there is an X by the network. I am set to Private connection but it wants to make a public connecton. I have to run diagnostics each time I start the computer. So, I went to restore and restored to back to before the 08-14 updates. Had to use safe mode to get it to work and the problem is gone, but so are the 10 updates of 08-14. Would be nice if the updates did not cause these problems and makes me not want to install any updates if they cause all of these problems that I see in the discussion groups. Does anyone at Microsoft have a clue as to what update is messing with Networking and Sharing?
