disable the winxp firewall and install a 3rd party firewall. the built in firewall sucks.

and none of those services are firewalls

[Evil_Neko]

If you are using a shared internet connectionn than you usually have to set those types of progras to passive mode to get them to work correctly.

[Evil_Neko]

set what type of programs to passive mode

if ya mean firewalls thenI dont know where it is so I cant change settings on it

[Xinu0]

No, i mean P2p programs(dont use Kazaa so wouldn't specifically know about that one though) and ICQ.
It worked for me.

You might be behind a NAT, a connection that uses one external IP to the internet for all computers on the network. This inadvertently acts as a firewall.

For some programs you can set them so that they can properly work behind a firewall. Most games however do not have this capability, you must forward the ports used by these programs to your internal IP on the network. I don't know how to do that on ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) if your internet server is running on Windows. http://support.microsoft.com/ Might be of help.

also, if you have a router, you'll have to disable the firewall inside it using the configuration screen. To get to your configuration, go to either http://192.168.1.1/ or http://192.168.0.1/, or google up your router's name for instructions if those dont work.

And downloadable software firewalls like sygate or zone alarm have a very high degree of customization, so you'll never have any problems connecting to things. They're ideal for broadband connections.

svchost.exe -k netsvcs ( Windows Firewall )
To see if firewall is running goto the control panel and look for the "Windows Firewall) option there should be a tick by the all your net connections and the option should be selected to "On" / no exeptions.
Else install SP2 and use Microsoft Security Settings

I wonder if he already fixed his problem since this thread is about a year old

You might want to check the date of the last post next time maxafax

just a sidenote: Have you read the rules? (no sarcasm here)

thx for the input maxafax, but when this thread was made, SP2 wasn't even planned for
