If I'm not mistaken, a firewall is a way of protecting your computer against people who want to dl stuff from you like zonelab, but I'm sure some computer nurd will explain everything, hehehehe

I found out that if u take the person of your hotlist for the moment while trying to get the song then it'll solve the problem most of the time. But that is weird cause it only happens sometimes
Yeah that used to happen all the time to me. Now I can't get much from Napster. My first advice would be to jump off the already sinking ship...I know it's hard! And then I would say without having control over the network you are unlikely to remove the firewall so just keep trying or get it somewhere else. This is my not TOO computer geeky answer, somebody prolly knows more than me. peas.

Here ya go:
A firewall keeps a network secure. It may protect a network while users connect to the Internet, or it may separate a company's public web server from its internal network. Firewalls are also used to keep segments of networks secure.
Hey theeyesofdarkness i need some more info from ya...
What is in your trashcan.. next to your clock.. (on the right)
Do you see either a
Blackice program running
a
Zonealarm program running??
or something else which looks like a firewall to you??
Okay answer that than maybe i can help ya..
P.S. maybe that guy whom you first downloaded from got a firewall 2.. (and you had one all the time) 2 firewalls with napster wont work.. You can also change your ports n stuff to make your firewall stop the stopping of napster downloads cause they are "insecure" according 2 it...
