JWHData

Thanks for referring me to CurrPorts. I downloaded it and ran it on both
PC's. Both PC's show Look@Lan using ports UDP 12035 and UDP 12066. In the
case of the Vista PC both ports show when the Firewall is enabled and
disabled. When the Firewall is disabled a couple of other ports TCP 49592 and
TCP 49608 show up - showing connections to other netwowk PC's. ??
