XP SP2 - Now can't get to internet

I loaded XP Service Pack 2 and now can't get to the internet on my Compaq
desktop. This same computer is the host computer for internet to a second
computer that can reach the internet just fine. What went wrong & how can I
fix it?

p.s. I already had Norton security so I tried turning off the Windows
Security for virus and firewall, but still can't reach the internet.

I had a similar problem, when I installed XP SP2 on my daughter's
computer.

After a lot of searching, I discovered that although I had not changed
any of the hardware, Plug & Play had identified the dial-up modem as a
totally different manufacturer and model. Consequently, Win XP was
using the wrong drivers.

You may have an entirely different problem.

However, I was able to restore normal service via Control Panel -
where I selected the modem and rolled back to the previous driver.
