B Bruce Chambers Mar 10, 2004 #3 Greetings -- Yes, this is to be expected. WinXP's built-in firewall 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. Internet Firewalls Can Prevent Browsing and File Sharing http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;298804 Bruce Chambers -- Help us help you: You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH
