XP SP 3 - network connection faillure

After installing the SP3 I cannot connect to the network. After a system
restore, so back to SP2 it works again.
Anyone having the same problem?

First suggestion:
Find the support web page for the manufacturer of your network device and
download and install the latest driver for that device straight from that
manufacturer's web page. Then try your SP3 installation again.
