   I am still stuck trying to get WXP to handle the internet connection.   
   I am now trying XP SP3.   
   This is an extract from the network diagnostic log:   
   ..   
   FTP (passive) error 12029 connecting to ftp.microsoft.com. A   
   connection with the server could not be established   
   HTTP:  successfully connected with www.microsoft.com   
   HTTPS:  error 12157 connecting to  www.microsoft.com   
   An error occurred in the secure channel support   
   ...   
   couldn't make an FTP connection   
   couldn't make a HTTPS connection   
      
   (I hope this is right)   
   Anyone?
