Cafi, If you are using a Firewall program similar to Zone Labs' Zone Alarm, there is a section where you can enable the firewall to allow all access to the internet for various websites. In this example, the sites are listed under Privacy and then the Site List tab. Another web site suggested typing in the URL with and without the "www." to ensure all examples of the website would be accepted. You also will want to check the Windows XP Firewall settings - I found them under Wireless Network Connection Properties, Advanced, then click on Settings for Windows Firewall. You'll want to allow the program Legacy to work.
Hope these ideas help. It really isn't safe to disable a firewall in this day and age, so be very careful about doing that as a last resort. Susan p.s. OT-If anyone can help me to get my Mr.SIDI viewer to work with these darn XP firewall settings I would be very grateful! LOL (This is how I discovered these other suggestions for getting Legacy to work.)
