Service Pack 1 problem
I recently did a re-install of Windows XP Pro and everytime I try to download the Service Pack 1 I keep getting this message:
"The following error occured while Service Pack 1 Setup attempted to download the Service Pack 1 files from the internet: The server did not respond. Server http://xpSP1.microsoft.com/isapi/pst...SP1.USA.1106a." Then I went to the Service Pack website and selected the Problems download the Service Pack to no avail. Does anyone know what I can do to get this pack. B/c from what I can tell I can't get any further Windows updates without it installed and I really don't want to order the cd from greedy Microsoft who makes you pay to get it??? Hope you can help.

I think you can get the pack here:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/winxpsp1.html I think this is what you are looking for. If not, there are alot of other microsoft patches here that you can download manually: http://microsoft.com/downloads/searc...n&categoryid=7 BTW since you did a fresh install of Windows XP, you are vulnerable to W32 Blaster Worm, which I heard can cause users to have problems with connecting to the Windows update site. Do you have a firewall on? If not, just turn on the built-in XP firewall and maybe the download will work. But, Im not a computer expert so don't take my word for it. Good Luck!

Thanks, yea I do have a firewall. On The Screen Savers last night they said that if you have a firewall you should be just fine. And I ran the fixblast from symantec's website last night and said I didn't have it so so far so good.

A firewall is only useful in this case if it blocks the TCP port 135. If u have a firewall running and that port isn't running the worm will still be able to activate/propogate itself.
The problem itself also is that the service is based from trying out random IP's to overload the stack which causes WinXP to reboot or W2K to crash.
