| You may have another firewall installed by your service provider that is preventing you from using thos network services. Contact your Internet Service Provider. |

Hmm lets see, a firewall is designed to block or filter traffic from the internet. ALL firewalls do this, if you tihnk the windows xp firewall is useless, you should try a more advanced firewall program that requires huge rules being made. A firewall is useless without good rules. The only one useless is you, for not making an attempt to find a solution. You want to know how hard it is to find the solution? All you go is go to help and support, and type in icf. Itll list articles that say what to do.
But anyway, here's the resolution. To enable voice in windows messanger (and i assume yahoo) see http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q308/2/61.ASP |

You may have IP filtering enabled and a few ports filtered. This is not really part of the Firewall, only an added feature. I am not at an XP workstation right now, so I will be working from memory:
- In your network properties, double click on TCP/IP. - Should have an Advanced Button. Click it. - Browse around until you locate IP Filtering. Check in there to see if it is enabled and if it is, what ports are being filtered. Good luck |
