Hi and thanks for the welcome
,
I've tried connecting/registering these programs with the McAfee Firewall removed and the windows firewall turned off but unfortunately it doesn't seem to make any difference. I may have a hardware firewall with my motherboard. I'll have to check this.
My XP is updated with all of the relevant files. I connect direct to modem with no router through ethernet - I'm not exactlly sure how to update ethernet drivers. I'll have to look into that too.
Cheers,
Nathan
