If I activate the firewall I loose my network - all I see
is MSN. If I deactivate the firewall and restart the
computer the local network comes back up - could someone
tell me why and how to fix this?
 
what type of firewall?
the windows firewall or a 3rd party firewall(like
zonealarm/nortons)?
if its the windows firewall it will block the network and
u need to get a 3rd party firewall.

WinXP's built-in firewall, in particular, is not designed to be
used on internal LAN connections. The _only_ connection on which you
should have ICF enabled is the direct connection to the Internet.
