Hi babylon5guy,

Are you using the WinXP or Classic interface?

Hi Cricket,
I'm using the XP interface, I figured I might as well get use to it, do you find using the classic better? Is that the only place connect to shows up?

Wouldnt you just right click on network places, go properties, then right click on your internet connection and go properties then advanced. There's an internet connection firewall setting right there

Thumbs up

Thanks Fraughton,
That did the trick. Funny though it was already turned off. It is suppose to be turned on by default, I wonder if ZoneAlarm turned it off when I installed it?

Well wolfie you must be right because it was off. This website through me off http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/os/windo.../xwin_32/3959/ , I thought connecting a cable modem was like setting up a network, but I guess not.
