two thread in one night? i know you're frustrated but this is borderline forum spam. 

the updates seemed to have helped about 90% of people with their connection issues. they certainly helped me a great deal. i wonder what's different about your setup that is preventing the updates from being of much assistance. your ISP? your router? your security software? 

one of the things Frogboy has mentioned often as being particularly difficult are users with multiple IP addresses. does your setup having anything like that?
