Thanks for the reply....I did turn off this firewall and my norton firewall
and it still has the problem. Further, I de-installed SP2...
AND, becuse I bought the computer with XP Home edition pre-installed I have
to buy another copy IF I decide to reload over the top. What a bunch of
crap....
No online help, phone help that cost $$ for an issue that was
"automatically" installed....
