I squirted some ether down the carburetor. Hit 'er again and see if
she'll crank.
Helm is still sluggish, but she is responding Captain. I'll try an
upload later today and see what happens.

Be sure to grab the download goodie. You'll wonder how you ever got
along without it.
Well.... only having a mac/unix kinda system, it won't do me much good.
The ftp client I use does allow resumed transfers though, so it's no biggy.

That's the wonderful thing about usenet (or whatever Shuji says this
is), we can't see one another's disabilities.
She's responding now, but I'm immediately kicked off.

XP firewall is giving me fits again. I had completely disabled it and
everything worked great for a while. But when I downloaded and
installed MS's design-fukkup-fix a few days ago it appears that part
of the fix was to re-enable XP firewall and install a new component of
it which wasn't even there the last time. I'm back to manually
entering ports into the thing, and it is back to puking them up again
a day or so later. I have no idea why. It will be Sunday before I have
the time and energy to fart around with figuring out how to disable
the damned thing again.
Well put.
Ah, more well-designed microsoftware. Hope you don't waste your whole
Sunday trying to beat some sense into it.
Oh, Michael, Michael. I feel for you. I can't believe you are having so many
problems with your XP firewall. My workd ftp (210 gigs) has been up with 45
users
for 2 months without going down. I wonder what you could be doing wrong.
Can't diss the MS stuff, it works great. It almost seems like it works on
autopilot or something.

Which is precisely the problem.
I put in port openings for the ftp server and for WinMX, everything
runs along just fine-n-dandy for a day or two, then XP decides to
delete the port openings I have set up.
I went the route of completely disabling XP firewall and went with my
router firewall and Norton on the box and everything worked fine for a
few weeks. Then I downloaded and installed an XP update. Next time I
booted up my machine, XP firewall was re-enabled and everything is
fucking fucked.
