Yup but I dont feel like waisting a CD for 3 pictures.

It took 16 minutes for one email to process on the same ISP. That to me is rediculus. The ISP is SBC global btw.

Cant wait to get my wireless router next month.

You enabled full access to all users? (if you enabled selected users only, make sure you delete the "all users" filter)

yes, i have the same firewall on both pc's (sygate personal firewall) the firewall in windows is disabled on both.

Where will i find the option to enable users?

Post by: Chortle on August 25, 2004, 06:07:21 AM: Can you ping both PC's from the command prompt, IPCONFIG /ALL and all that stuff?

Personally, I disable all firewalls when I'm having a problem just to make configuring things a little easier.

when i ran that command, i only found the pc im currently on (xp pro). same when i ran it on the other pc (xp home)

im abit worried about turning off all firewalls but i guess ill have to try it later. the wifi routher that both pc's are connected through has a buidt in one that is only set to "guard" from the outside...not inside the local network i think.

Post by: Nilsen on August 25, 2004, 06:29:27 AM: UPDATE

cod i feel retarded now :D

after the last time i did a windows update, it must have adjusted some settings cause i just found out that it had enabled firewall on the wifi card on my xp pro :o

I knew this wasnt on previously so i dint double check it now.

As usual the solution was so simple that i didnt see it.

Sorry, I wasn't clear, you will find this when doing a share (folder), under properties -> permissions

Post by: Chortle on August 25, 2004, 07:03:09 AM: lol nice one :) Seems Windows likes to do that sort of thing.

The last time my network just stopped working for no apparent reason was because some security setting had been checked about 5 sub menus and 4 advanced tabs into the network card properties. How it got checked I'll never know, certainly not by me but it took 3 pots of coffee and 40 cigarettes for me to find that little beauty.

yup, that was the problem here too. it didnt show as firewall enebled until i acutally disabled the card to troubleshoot. The guy working in the security department at Microsoft must be to blame. he has caused me trouble before. :)

I wish i could just install OSX on all my systems and things would work as they are supposed to.

It's called Window XP Service Pack 2

it enables the firewall
