Posted December 19, 200321 yr The new XP SP2 Beta is now out. Apparently, its more like an OS refresh than a service pack. Only open to MSDN testers though :( http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/12/18/HNsp2_1.html -Zach "It's a flat file masquerading as a relational engine.

December 19, 200321 yr FPCH Admin One thing it does is lockdown your net connection. It turns the firewall on. It also fixes the problems with DCOM once and for all. I've had it installed since last night on my devel box. No problems so far. Another Forum - Unlike the Rest
December 19, 200321 yr Author Sounds good. Let us know if anything bad happens ;) For me, Im still running Windows 2000 Proffesional. Quite possible the best OS ever. :) -Zach "It's a flat file masquerading as a relational engine.

March 29, 200421 yr Speaking of the XP firewall, is it now actually configurable, or does it still block everything but web browsing and email? (I've never been able to game online with the thing on). -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?

March 29, 200421 yr FPCH Admin It's configurable. If a program tries to access the internet it will prompt you to ask for permissions. It has really come a long way. Another Forum - Unlike the Rest
April 5, 200421 yr You can still turn off the MS Firewall or course ... right? You mean it just defaults to on?
April 5, 200421 yr FPCH Admin Yes you can turn it off. It is turned on by default ater install. Another Forum - Unlike the Rest
