i recently installed sp2 and all my p2p programs stopped working. one of them told me that i had a firewall activated. i've checked all the usual places for firewall, the icon in the system tray, network connections, and the firewall is turned off. is there any other places were the firewall is turned on? does sp2 mess with ports or something? also i dont have any 3rd party firewall installed. any advice would be useful. thanks

Hi Cat Never mind 3rd party Firewalls do you have a 2nd party Firewall? By this I mean did you have a stand alone Firewall before you installed sp2? Wolfey
