I have xp sp2 with 2 users accounts on it, they are both admin. the first one i have no problem connecting anymore after following zap's info, however i can't get the 2nd user account to connect at all, although it all shares the same info. does any know why this might be, or do i have to do something different for this user account. i have changed ports, i have mcafee security-with it allowing both the first user port, and the 2nd user port #'s. i have also turned off the windows firewall for the 2nd user, however for the 1st user i had them both on and lw connects with no problem after i did that patch from zap's post. any insight to why i'm having this prob would be greatly appreciated.
