Windows XP SP2
Did they ever get the bugs fixed on service pack 2? I was hearing all kinds of horror stories about it and I have already turned down the upgrade like 5 times and now Microsoft is sending me emails telling to d/l it.

If you run a PPOE login software on the computer for your DSL and have the SP2 firewall engaged, you might have problems.
But, if you get a hub/router that will take care of the PPOE for you, problem solved.
I see very little SP2 issues, most are due because some admin did something stupid and crashed the box.

I just uninstalled it becouse like i run Aim and msn and other programs connected all the time and it would cutt them off and cause them to have to reconnect every few minutes. so sometimes i didnt know if i was on or not. I tried turning off its firewall but it still did nothing. I have cable. I've been running fine without it for 3 days now.

You can add AIM/MSN or any other program to the exceptions list for the firewall and not have to worry about it disconnecting every few minutes.
Just one more example of people not setting up their shit right and thinking something is broke.

LOL and your one hell of a nice guy! Way to help people out by pointing out whats already set up in the basic software. I sure hope you have a job that doesnt deal with people, either that or you just come on here to vent steam in wich case makes a great enviroment.
