The firewall is called Windows Firewall and it's only displayed that way if
you view Control Panel in classic mode, like I do. In XP'x normal mode,
it's probably under a heading of Security or something similar.
You don't need Total Access to dial into earthlink. You only need a tiny
bit of info in your Connections tab under the Internet Options applet, also
found within Control Panel. :O)
Peace,
Gman
