Re: our "We did find the Control>Adm Tools>Services and
SSDP. We did see the STOP key (for 5000) but
not 'startup' and 'type.' This was done on my notebook
with WinXP."
Should we still click on the "STOP?" for the Port 5000
(even though it states "These programs or services use
this port by default:
Windows ME, XP and 2003 Network Plug & Play?" It says
Windows XP use this port (5000)?)
Thank you...
