When did this start? When does it occur? What had recently changed? Did
you add or remove or update software or hardware? I would first run a utility like Ad-aware (freeware from Lavasoft) to search for and remove Spyware/Malware. Recently, it seems that this is the most common problem of things not working correctly. For more information & links to utilities, see this page: The Parasite Fight, Quick Fix Protocol http://www.aumha.org/a/parasite.htm If this doesn't help, then I'd run the Msconfig utility and deselect Startup items. If the problem stops, then enable the items in Startup a few at a time, restart and check for the problem. When the problem starts again, then something that you just loaded up is causing it. Remember that the System Configuration utility is a tool for troubleshooting and disabling things using it is not meant as a permanent fix but to help determine what is causing the problem so that you can deal with it.

Have you designated a Trusted Zone of IP addresses on your LAN for your firewall? Any IP address not associated with the local machine is considered Internet unless you tell your firewall differently. Do you have FedEx printing set up? -- Earl F. Parrish |

Thanks for your help, have a great day, Jim Now I remember. The fax service uses a port (1024) which is also used by one of the Trojan Horses NetSpy. The fax service uses it a loopback address with the local host at IP address 127.0.0.1 along with port 1034. -- Earl F. Parrish |
