I plan to install a slave drive on my desktop computer with XP. I know this
is not an XP question, but where are jumpers obtained? Do they come in the
package with the drive itself?

They usually come with the drive.

The drive usually comes with a jumper in the Cable Select position. Just move it to Slave.

Should be physically connected to the drive when you buy it, with a diagram
on the hard drive that shows you how to position it.

I visited that very good site, but while there a Trojan Horse attempted to
invade my computer. It was the PSW.Generic.YRD Trojan. I guess when sites
are left sitting, they become good targets for this sort of thing.

Site works fine (no malware attempts) and source looks good.

You running a firewall?

Yes, Zone Alarm firewall in place. The other possible sources for the Trojan
would be this Newsgroup, The New York Times, National Weather Service, and
similar.

If for some reason the drive you bought is really "bare" and doesn't
have jumpers, you can find these things in various computer/electronics
stores like Fry's or Radio Shack (although from its web site, it looks
like Radio Shack only sells packages of 100, but that might be different
at an actual store). It depends on where you live.

Or you could probably sweet-talk one or two jumpers from almost any
computer repair shop, even the ones at "big store usa"

Ask the place you're getting the drive from to throw in a few extra.

Since it's being blocked you can find out where it's trying to come
from with TCPView http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html

While it's being blocked open TCPView and see where it's coming from -
right click on the process and select whois.

Then refuse the connection when your thru.
