did that, it didn't work.

I had ZoneAlarm on her laptop, and that totally disabled the Linksys usb Broadband reciever thing from getting anything to the laptop I believe, because nothing (Firefox, IE, Msn, or any other program that used the internet would connect).

Also, I turned windows firewall on, that didnt help, and turned it off, and that didnt help either.
Seems to be a weird problem, I might just reboot her laptop with the XP disk and hope for the best.
