I am writing you all because there is NO WHERE on the
Microsoft website that will allow me to send an email
regarding the windows 2002 xp prof product. Maybe you can
forward this to someone that can answer a question
regarding the software that I bought a week ago.

I am very upset at the popups that are continuing to
occur. I have a peer to peer system with 4 computers on it
and if I use the firewall option the others on my network
cannot access the shared programs on my computer. Is there
an option that will allow them to access while keeping out
unwanted intruders? I have a small company where the
people need to have access to Peactree and other software
on my computer. I am confused as to why microsoft would
have this as a feature on windows. I have activated the
firewall and when I do it stops the access to my computer
for the people that I want to have access with the shared
files.

HELP!!!



Thank you in advance.

XP's Internet Connection Firewall is for use ONLY on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. By design, it blocks file sharing.

The solution to the popup problem depends on:

1. What type of popups you're seeing. Are they popup windows that
appear only when you're browsing the Internet, messenger popups that
appear at any time, or something else?

2. How your network connects to the Internet.

If you'll post a news group reply with the answers to those questions,
I'm sure that someone can help you.

If you are talking about the windows popups rather than internet explorer
popups, go to start>control panel>services>messenger and disable the
messenger service. Or,
block the proper ports in your router: Sites with firewalls that block
incoming connections to the Microsoft networking ports (135, 137-139, and
445) are immune from this spam.
 
Thank you for your rapid response.

1) The popups are not the ones that are occuring while I
am browsing the internet. They are ones that appear as I
am doing my work and are a gray window that commonly is
marketing pop up stopper type services.

2) I am on a DSL service.

Thanks again

Tony.
 
Thank you. I will try that.

Just go to Services and stop the messanger service, make
sure you change it to manual so it doesn't start next
time you boot.
 
Not sure but you get pop up's from Instant Messenger.

If it is, then here's the solution for XP & I presume
that it will work in xp 2002

"Start"--->"Run"--->"Services.msc"---->"Messenger"

Right Click on it and select "Properties"

Change the "start up type:" to "popup Disabled"

Then under the "servies status" click "stop"

Then Click "apply" then "ok" and your set.
