I've been running it now for a few days and do not have problems really. The popup blocker works nice in IE. I have the feeling the property windows take a little longer to open now. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Does the pop-up blocker interfere with googles at all? Kind of like the way google allows me to override the bloxk for a page/site. -------------

I don't have the google one installed here at work, but IE just gives you a little bar where you can either allow this time, or allow allways for this site etc. couldn't say if it clashes with others. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

| I have it installed now, looks like it doesn't interfere with google toolbar, just going to put the firewall through its paces at http://scan.sygate.com - http://scan.sygate.com |

It passes the test, it blocked all these ports and ICMP

Mart, Did you have to open up 80 to allow iis to run html/asp pages? -------------

Well, took the plunge. On reboot it hung - lots of disk activity, then about a hour of nothing. Hit the reset switch and booted ok with SP 2 installed. Everything seems to chek out ok. Didn't have to open up any ports in the firewall to allow local use of iis. -------------

| I can use IIS locally, it has only blocked remote connections. |

I've just downloaded SP2 over night and will give it a go today if I
get some time spare when I don't need to use the PC as I imagine it
will take sometime to install.

| didn't take that long actually, most of the time was spent extracting files, after that it was just 20-30 mins installing |

Kinda stinks that they don'y give you the chance anymore, not to backup old files. On a fresh system I really don't care and would rather skip the backup process. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

I recall seeing something on one of the pages off of the initial ms link about integrating sp2 with a new install. Might have been talking about things that were "comming" though. Didn't apply to me, so I skipped it. Only problem I found post-install is that windows update wants me to upgrade to their Radeon drivers that are older than the ones I have. Gotta agree with Borg about making sure you've got plenty of time - based upon past experience installing MS OS's. -------------

I think If you check out the page, that most of those problems are fixed by opening a port in the MS firewall which is now turned on by default. You probably already did that for your existing firewall. -------------

| I am using the MS Firewall, I might not have noticed because I don't use VS.NET or SQL Server over the internet |
