RE: Microsoft Windows SBS 2003 Communication Issues

I did that but it still hangs when I try to connect.
The PC's are running XP Pro.
I'm running ISA Client Server so windows firewall for the pc is not running?
Everything is grayed out.
I'm also running Trend Server Protect for Small Business.
We use various FTP programs a lot and they are working fine.

I have sent you a screen shot.
