I am not sure how IPC works, but it is the service that allows other
computers to access your machine over the network. When I shared my folders
on my NT machine for my students to access, I found that they still could
not get to them till I enabled sharing of IPC. This is normally set when you
configure your computer to "allow others to connect" to your computer - this
can be found in the NT user manager policy section. Under Windows 2000, the
setting defaults to share IPC. I don't know much more than that, but you
probably don't need to allow IPC to access the Internet. Perhaps Dave
Gillett can shed more light on this - his answers are always enlightening
and accurate.
