Downloads Hanging

[Guest]

Hi There:
I'm using XP with Service Pack 2 and all recent critical updates.

For some reason, all of my http downloads are hanging; for example, anything
fromZDNet or free software from third parties. They all start fine, and go
half or even two thirds before simply stalling out. I have Norton Internet
Security and the XP firewall on. To date, these have never been a problem.
Any ideas? Something to do with the recent security updates of a couple weeks
ago? I am not using any third-party downloading software.

Thanks,

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

If Your Norton Internet Security has also an active firewall,
it maybe conflicting with Windows' firewall,
turn one of them off, and see if You notice any improvement.

Good Luck x@y.
