I'm having trouble with my computer, I have windows XP and Yahoo DSL, and my computer wont connect to anything P2P like Kazaa, bearshare, bit torent, or like anything like that. I have Norton's Anitvirus, and i heard from mulitple people that its my firewall, but i don't know how to fix it. Does anyone have any idea, because i am computer stupid, so if any of you computer guys can help me out i would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

It might be another setting, is your productivity control turned on? If it is try turning it off.

Re: (D1SR240)
on the lower right of your taskbar, see the little globe? Doubleclick it, this will bring up the config screen. last item in the center column, "productivity control" click on it and follow th e instructions that pop up to turn it off. It's for workplace and parental control and blocks certain types of sites, file sharing is likely top of the hitlist. You don't put yourself at risk by turning it off.
