This is the wrong place for your issues, and you've already been told. Persisting to post irrelevant questions here will only make people ignore you and/or hate your guts. Trust me. It's an evil gang in here, and they will make you suffer. Support for Microsoft products such as the Windows XP firewall usually takes places on the public Microsoft newsgroups. Try microsoft.public.windows.networking.firewalls. Use Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird or any other newsreader, and msnews.microsoft.com as your news server. Don't hesitate to contact your ISP if you can't make it work. When you post your first mail, copy/paste the output from "netsh firewall show state" and "netsh firewall show config". That should give volunteers enough information to help you. shih lin wrote: > in window xp home ed, it have a red heart with white cross on it , it > seem is firewall is down. but I do not quite trust that, can I check > from cygwin(or linux) > how do I know I already havr firewall, and how to set up down > eric -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
