I can also FTP Files and upload on DC , whats going on ??? Ive check everything in both clients i have no proxy server / wingates or anything like that setup , im using BT Home 500 DSL and im getting very pissed off. any help would be grateful. |

To check if Windows XP's built-in firewall feature is enabled, open up Network Connections, right-click your connection and I believe the option is located on the right-most tab.
I hope that this has the desired effect. |

Oh yes, the XP's dreaded "firewall".
The only thing it ever does is mess everything up. |
