Ben, I am having an even bigger problem with NIS 4.03 ... Once the
update is downloaded and installed, and then the system is rebooted, I
lose all Interenet connectivity through my browser (IE 6.0) ... I
have tried everything to fix this, however, the only solution was to
either disable the "Personal Security" feature or to uninstall and
reinstall NIS 4.0 and not download the 4.03 live update. Any other
people have this problem ? Any known fix ?
