kazaa lite connection problem in xp

Greetings

I've just got a new laptop running XP and have installed the old version of
Kazaa Lite that I was running with no problems (connection or otherwise) on
my old Win98 system. When I try to open Kazaa Lite I get the 'connecting...'
notification in the bottom of the screen but it never connects. I have
turned off the XP internal firewall as I am using ZoneAlarm firewall and am
not sure if it this that is affecting it, although it didn't on my Win98
machine.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Mat

Most here are not going to help you with Kazaa of any flavor.

Anyway, try this latest version before Kazaa went to selling their services.
this is a good version that I use from time to time.

I wouldn't touch the Kazaa program or its network. Full of viruses, fakes,
hackers and vulnerabilities.

He is referring to Kazaa lite which has no nasty extras.

This NG seems full of anti Kazaa people. I have a fantastic collection
thanks to Kazaa, Even the original Kazaa with it's adware and spyware wasn't
a problem as long as you ran a good firewall. If you are downloading music
or movies then virus's don't come into it. If you download an application
from any peer to peer application then there is a risk of a virus, but as
there is plenty of good free anti virus software available on line, that is
no problem either.

That said. If you don't like Kazaa then don't run it, but there is no need
to continually run it or any other P2P application down.

In short: GROW UP.

I wouldn't touch the Kazaa program or its network. Full of viruses, fakes,
hackers and vulnerabilities.

Spoken like someone who has never tried it. Kazaa Lite (not KMD) is a
wonderful source to download just about anything. I have over 5,000
perfect MP3's and hundreds of software titles thanks to this network.
Where else can one find over 3,000,000 users online sharing over a
BILLION files! It has it's share of fakes and viruses just like any
other P2P network. Smart users can work around this.

Smart users? Those are the ones that are not stealing things that others
have copywrited, ones that the RIAA is not after, ones that only share
public works, etc...

I tried it. Then I fixed all the problems, and adjusted firewalls, and
tried it again. I fixed more problems, deleted it, cleaned things up and
went to WinMX and have never looked back. I would NOT have kazaa, or AOL,
or anything with "REAL" in the name.

Bottom posting is proper because YOU say so? I think not. Top posting is
the only way to go. No, that's wrong. It's one of many ways to go, and a
matter of personal choice.

FYI: Topposting aggravates lots of the people from whom you are asking help.
I am not one, but I also try to discourage its use because it
makes reading search engine results much easier.
As a matter of fact, this paragraph is a top post example.

You may want to read http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html
and/or http://www.dickalba.demon.co.uk/usen.../faq_topp.html
Please use "alt.test" or any of the 400+ test groups ending in

Before anyone responds about this FYI, do read the following
