Wireless internet not working with Windows XP service pack 2

As soon as service pack 2 is installed, Netgear cannot connect to the internet and the icon is always red.
I have played around with the firewall settings to make it as unrestricted as possible.
As soon as SP2 is uninstalled, wireless internet can easily connect to the internet.
Any ideas?

See if it connects when you switch off the firewall altogether."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

May be worth uninstalling that first and just using windows or reinstalling after SP2 is installed. Also make sure it's the latest drivers/software first from Netgear's website."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"
