I had to trun off the Microsoft firewall to get the XP box to work at 
all but Linksys told me that. I use Norton Personal Firewall and all you 
need to do is tell it the IP addresses you are not concerned with and it 
works just fine.

BTW how do you get XP to map the network drives when it comes up or when 
it first fines them so it doesn't have to keep remapping them. I know 
that is an OT question but what the heck.

We imitate our masters only because we are not yet masters ourselves, 
and only

because in doing so we learn the truth about what cannot be imitated.
