First, a couple of things about netiquette:

- When replying to a section of a digest, delete all the irrelevant
stuff. People get enough irrelevant email as it is without you - or
me - adding to it.

- when replying to a list like this, reply at the bottom (or, where
relevant, below each point) rather than at the top, as you would to an
email from a friend.

As far as your problem is concerned, I would NEVER tick everything. Just
tick the items that refer to what you want to do.

It sounds to me as though you've got another firewall running. Are you
sure you've disabled any other firewalls you've got installed on your
PC?

 All the best,
 John
