Bit Defender Professional Internet protection

It sounds like a firewall problem to me also. Now that Windows XP has a firewall in it, after you install another firewall, such as Bit Defender Pro Internet Protection, it is easy to forget to disable the Windows firewall.
If that doesn't work, try disabling the Bit Defender firewall also. If you are able to connect then, you will need to change some of the settings in the BitDefender firewall.
I currently use BitDefender and I llike it. So I don't see any reason to get rid of it.
Get firefox and Sygate Personal Firewall. Disable the builtin windows firewall and the BITS service.
