I'm using XP home for the first time, (my hd crashed with Win2k, and the second HD had XP Pro) On my old machines, I was able to upload and download no issue, whatsoever.

The only difference between then and now, other than a week, (and two dead HD's), is that I am on XP home. I have the firewall off, since I have Netgear Hardware Firewall. I'm on a new HP Pent4 3.1Ghz machine...200 G HD, and the only hd differences is that I've added an Ipod, (happy birthday).

I checked, my firewall is off. I have satellite, and set the DNS and IP to auto detect. It doesn't matter if I use browser based email, or Dreamweaver, I can't upload. It wouldnt' be a big deal, but I'm a web designer, and that's sort of how I make my sites.

any ideas?? I keep finding similar questions on the MS community boards, but no responses.

Thanks

CJ
