Very strange and annoying problem Ken. I have to say I have no such issues with the internet and I run a wireless connection with a netgear wireless ADSL modem/router. I'm running XP Home Edition and IE7. Are you sure this is a service pack 3 issue though? Have you tried uninstalling service pack three and then connecting to the internet without it to see if the issue goes away?
Only slight issue I have with SP3 is that it doesn't seem to like "spamihilator" which is a little spam eliminating program which "integrates" with outlook and outlook express. I guess microsoft don't like third party programs "integrating" with theirs!
