Hello Philip,
The only thing you can do ist to deactivate the XP firewall for the time
to use the ppm.
Here in my office I have deactivated the XP firewall, because we are
behind a hardware firewall.
And as I know software firewalls are not secure enough to avoid hacking
of the PC, only a good hardware
firewall can do this.
Sorry for the bad news.

Dear friends,
when I try to use ppm I get the following error message
Error: No valid repositories: Error: 500 Can't connect to
ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (Bad protocol 'tcp') Error: 500 Can't connect to
ppm.ActiveState.com:80 (Bad protocol 'tcp')
I'm running Windows XP with no proxy, but I guess it can be the firewall
that is acting up? I saw in the archives that someone suggested
uninstalling and reinstalling the tcp/ip protocaol, but it seems
that can't be done on XP. What shall I do? Is there a workaround?
TIA

"Maybe" is a strange word. When mum or dad says it
it means "yes", but when my big brothers say it it
means "no"!
