things often happen when Microsoft releases a Service Pack. Of
course, to BugNet, "interesting" means crippling incompatibilities,
massive breakdowns, and lots of angry users.
To your good fortune, and
our bad, Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 appears to have rolled out smoothly.
The only exception seems to have been the problem with two firewall
devices, ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm, and Network Ice BlackICE Defender. After
installing SP 1, ZoneAlarm users were unable to connect via TCP/IP,
which crippled Internet and many network connections. Users of BlackICE
found their system unprotected. Follow the links below for the full
details on these two problems, and on how to get their fixes.
Both these problems were
fixed rather quickly. Last minute changes to Microsoft's Software
