My internet connection sharing worked fine and for some strange reason, I have to close the host computer's firewall for the client's internet to work. I haven't touched any settings on both machines in question - so why has it done this? Any answers? EuriMouse

Has SP2 been released officially yet? EuriMouse

I mean, I still havent switched to ethernet. Do I just plug in the ethernet cable and take out the USB connection; would I not need to configure it differently on the computer or will Windows recognise I have connected through eternet instead automatically? EuriMouse

So any replies? EuriMouse

Is this v5 of WU going to be releasing soon? EuriMouse

Yeah, I think I will wait! EuriMouse

How do I get SP2 for Xp? Mine is XP SP 1 and I have ran Windows Update but SP2 was not listed for download...? EuriMouse

So do I just plug the ethernet cable in? Do I need to configure it differntly or anything on the machine? Also, the computer I am having these hanging problems on is a host computer on a home network connected to one other machine... this one is XP and the other is 98 SE. Is this the problem, do you think? Are there any known discrepancies with XP being unstable when on a network or anything, especially when connected to a 98 SE machine? EuriMouse

28 processes running at this very moment. I have 256 MB of SD RAM, I think. I haven't defragmented for a little while - I'll try that and also try switching my modem to ethernet! Thanks guys; you're ace! EuriMouse

Hi Thanks for your reply. I cdon't think I have added, installed or radically changed anything on my PC since this behaviour has started happening. I have a USB Cable Modem, which I think might be the problem. After your explanation about the CPU usage, I'm adamant now that the system does not lag because of that (after surveying it for a good couple of hours!) Are there any known issues with USB Cable Modems with XP? EuriMouse

I've noticed recently, well, for a little while now, actually, that XP has began to hang quite frequently for no apparent reasons. Sometimes Windows hangs and restores itself within a couple of seconds/minutes; on other occasions, I have to restart the computer because it takes so long. I think it has something to do with the internet connection, since when Windows does hang, I can still open music files in Winamp but cannot open actual programs or use the internet connection to browse or open IE because if I do this, then computer then tends to show evidently that it is not responding by displayin the usual symptoms, ie. single windows showin through each other etc. It could also be that the CPU usage is at 100%, but this always seems to be the case for me when I press ctrl+alt+delete: I see the CPU usage at 100% for a second and then it drops to a normal level. So I don't know if it is actually 100% when I'm not viewing or if it is just 100% because I start Windows Task Manager. Any solutions? EuriMouse

Yes, this has worked for me also. ZA is the problem here. I hope they fix it quick in their next update! EuriMouse

I also have ZA. I will delete it also and hope it works... but I would try reinstalling ZA! Thanks for the help; I'll keep you posted! EuriMouse

Yes, this is exactly the same problem I am receiving right now. My computer also seems to be loading slower too. There is an article about this on the Microsoft site: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823439 But as you can see, it has been nearly a year since it was last reviewed and still no action has been taken. Perhaps if you could email them, as I did, and let the know about it. Afterall, the more requests they get for this problem, the more likely they will be of reviewing it again. EuriMouse

No one has anyother solutions? EuriMouse
