My wife and I have a tiny LAN for the DSL acount.  I'm using an hp Vectra with WinXP Pro and have a NetDefense firewall.  Many, many times I get messages similar to--

  MSN_SL is trying to connect to g.ceipmsn.com.  Do you want to allow this program to access the network?  Yes__   No__      __Remember my answer and do not ask me again for this application.

  Every few minutes I get such a message and, concerned about my ignorance, consistently answer No.  With no idea whatsoever what I'm doing.  Example:  I dunno whether their "the network" refers to our little LAN or the Interrnet.  Or the Web (once a subsection of the 'Net, but I dunno about now.   And second:  I dunno whether their "the program" refers to MSN_SL or to g.ceipmsn.com -- or what either is or where it is located. Or why I should be concerned.

  Should I just allow, or disallow, all these and make the answer permanent to divest myself of all these inquiries?     ---ed
