update - I already tried disabling zonelabs and windows (trying to use just
zonelabs) firewalls. However, I just disabled zonelabs on XP PC (which I
didn't have to do yesterday) and communication works both ways - nothing has
changed on the XP box so am at a loss as to what is going on. Turns out the
ip address of the laptop was not in the trusted zone on the XP computer -
this doesn't explain why it was half working yesterday.
Now to find out why I can't get the web browser to connect to the internet
using vodafone 3g/gprs.
How do i hide the preview mesages in windows mail? Also to change the view
on the other folders from the right of the list of messages to the bottom?
Windows has lost/downgraded the menu bar.
