I am doing mine on a laptop that is running Win2kPro.

I normally do a clean install (wiping entire drive), but I'm going to probably try the 'Upgrade' option this time, since the core files of Win2k are most likely similar to WinXPPro core files..

>>I'm using the built in firewall of XP.<<

That is one thing I'd never do. Never ever trust you security to Microsoft. At the very least use ZoneAlarm.

I can't find the info I read at the moment but I have read that the XP firewall is easily defeated. I wouldn't rely on just it.
