| Let's take a closer look at your set up then.  System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)My guess is the firewall issue is your modem/router. Remember Windows XP has its own firewall. |

| ah ok you have a wireless device. Almost ALL wireless devices have NAT firewalls. So you will need to find out what brand & model it is. Take a look at where the connections come from behind the computer. See if you can find the modem/router box & find some labels on it ... possibly on top or side or bottom. |
