DO NOT run two firewalls. Before installing SP2 turn off Norton, your web
connection, and any peripherals. Install SP2, turn off the Microsoft
firewall, turn on the stuff you turned off and things should be operating
ok.

Disable the XP Firewall because you already have the Norton Firewall since
Norton's is the better of the two. Two Firewall's running together are
redundant and present an oppurtunity for conflict.
