[pchelpers] Re: Windows 2000 guru needed


Thanks for all the suggestions.  I guess I should mention that cookies were 
enabled, the browser does have 128 bit encryption, java/javascript were 
enabled.  I did install Service Pack 2 at one point but still had the problem.  
But, to make a long story short, my hard drive was reformatted after that due 
to other problems I was experiencing, and I had to start all over.  I was going 
to get Service Pack 3 after reinstalling everything but was reluctant to get it 
because it was 25 megs and I only have a dial-up connection.  I guess I could 
order the CD if nessary, but I didn't want to go through all the hassle of 
getting it if that wasn't the problem.  But certainly if I had a fast 
connection I would give it a try.

As far as the firewall, how do you configure it?  I was told that all new 
computers come with a built-in firewall and supposedly that's the case with 
mine, but I've never seen anything that allows me to configure it.
