I Also have had to drop Xp's Firewall for the same reason
as Tomco (and got rid of my micky mouse watch the same
day).
After looking around I aggree that Sygate free
(smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm) is the bizz
and have the same results as Tomco.
It is far easier to use than the Xp firewall which used
to work well with Windows 4.7, after installing many port
number's that Mr Kay gave me.
I see you are using an out of date 6.1, how come because
i had no choice but to install the new version or I could
not have it.
If it was me I would save myself self a lot of misery and
do it now?
