Thank for coming back to me.

I am running the Windows XP. The fire wall just says "windows firewall". This is located in the Control Panel but unfortunately I can't find a property button to know more about it.

My connection is a LAN.

Yes, i manage to start it up. It starts up but can't connect. I can see from the Connection tab in LW - the connections dropping... on average i see 9 connections being made. it just says "connecting"

Thanks
