I had my XP SP3 firewall disabled (have a network/router setup) and after a power outage here and subsequent download of SP3 updates, I think the firewall was turned back on! Can you believe that an update would turn it on? Have you heard of that? I think that's what happened because since the power outage my network has been down and after reinstalling the router several times I am still not getting on. Then I wondered...firewall? Doh! I think that's the problem. But what's weird is that I never had it on -- it looks like M$ turned it on for me. By the way, I just added you as a contact in flickr! Wow, gorgeous photography! Are you on FB too? Thanks, Layne (flickr: applecrisp) Kane, I appreciate your post here!
