I haven't, but I would guess you need to open the firewall that SP2 installs
and configures by default to be quite restrictive (An otherwise good thing).

On my computer I get prompted when an unauthorized application tries to
access the network, and I can allow it.  I think this behavior is user
configurable though.

Just look at the Microsoft Security Center application, in the control panel
or admin tools or something like that.

Hey,

Has anybody had problems with getting MS4W applications to run on an "XP
machine with service pack 2 installed"?  We installed an MS4W application on
three separate XP machines and the application ran correctly.  Soon after
the installation, the client installed XP service pack 2 on those machines
and now the application just won't run.  To add insult to injury, all three
machines seem to be handling the application in three different ways!

If anybody has dealt with is issue, we would be very interested in learning
how to work around Service Pack 2.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Bryon
