MusicChick,

Service pack 2 beefs up XP's internet security and doesn't always do what you want it to. Turning it off doesn't always work. It can be a real problem.

Go to your network connections, properties, right click your connection, then select advanced, settings, go to the exceptions tab and remove "Limewire - The Best Sharing Program", add - limewire.exe manually.

Good luck,

Norm
