[Xitami] FTP and XP Pro Security Set Up

[Admin (MRJ)]

Same as previous messages have pointed out in here.
SP 2 has the bad habbit of installing a default firewall that will decide by
itself to close anything and everything out.

I know of no sure way to uninstall SP 2 to make it work or disable it since
I shunned the SP2 and dont use XP for server hosting.

The only thing I know I had to do was to re-install my entire box and
reinstall without SP2 to make it work with all my apps again.

I'm not sure what happened.  I have since reinstalled XP pro with only SP1.
I am still experiencing the same problem.  My ISP (an educational
institution) had poked holes in the firewall back in 1999 for http and ftp
for my IP address.  I checked with them and nothing has changed.
