Thanks Judith! I didn't have any trouble with my firewall either - once I got it all configured! I had zone alarm on my old computer, but had Outpost on this one. It stopped EVERYTHING!!! until I turned off some of its functions!

I did re-activate my windows firewall after that. Is this accurate information? or should I put a firewall back on here?
