Hmmm ...

XP does have a firewall. To turn it off:

1. Go to Start.
2. Left-click on Control Panel.
3. Double-left-click Networking and Internet Connections.
4. Left-click Network Connections.
5. Right-click the Tripod connection, then left-click Properties.
6. Left click the Advanced tab.
7. Clear the option to Protect my computer or network.

When you reinstalled the Tripod application, were you logged in as Administrator?

And how are the other accounts limited?

OK, that's what I did. Still no change.

BTW - Tripod isn't an application. I just access my account on their website. I can either upload my own files or edit them there. I did that today from the office.

The other accounts are limited under XP. It give me the option of making them an Administrator or giving them a limited account. You'll recall Luke's "adventure" with deleting his Mom's account, thus his restrictions.

So far this only seems to be problem with the Tripod site. It's bizarre.

I gotta get some sleep tho. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll get back on this tomorrow night when I get home.
