Ahh, THAT networking.

What update is it? (the KB number)

*yawn* no. I pass out from time to time. You?

Aghh, who am I kidding. Me and networking. Ha! A good one.

under tools in IE theres a setting for default behavior. for some reason the update sets it to "dial a connection" whereas for machines with LAN broadband you want "never dial a connection"
