Perhaps you are typing everything in capital letters and that is
misconfiguring things.

So when you look at the network properties of the dial-up and look at the
advanced tab, what do you see? Have you talked to anyone at JUNO.COM about
using the XP firewall?
 
1-stop typing in caps it is considered shouting and rude
here and makes your posts hard to read.
2-talk to juno sometimes the windows firewall will
interfere with isps
3-get a real firewall(zonealarm is a free one).Why you
ask? because windows firewall only stops incoming traffic.
It can not monitor outgoing(such as existing
virus/worm/trojans/spyware/... you already have, or stuff
you unknowingly download). Also with a 3rd party firewall
like zonealarm/nortons you can set specific program acess
and receive warnings and logs of things that are trying to
access the internet.
