Ok this problem came after I installed SP2 (i think)

I'm using Sygate Firewall but i have tried disabling it
However, when i try to check windows firewall, it wont let me use it "because of an unidentified problem" !

Dunno what to do :/ Any help appreciated :)

If this problem cropped up when you installed SP 2 then the windows firewall is almost certainly the problem. Sounds like the WF is not working properly though, maybe try reinstalling SP2 or wait for a better suggestion from here.

thx for a quick reply! yeah i think it's the firewall too.. I tried to reinstall SP2 but it still wont let me open the firewall's settings

maybe i have to reinstall my windows.. SUX! /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
