Not being funny Mandy but I find this statement rather strange!

Opening up firewall permissions to set up a home network is no risk

you refuse to install SP2 which is leaving you wide open to people
exploiting your security and hacking into your computer!


I don't use the XP machine any more... this one (with Vista) is it's
