I took the others suggestion and downloaded NFilter and I have none of it.
It is great, easy to setup, and free! I would suggest everyone do the
same.

Don't worry... it works with XP. I'm running it with XP Pro SP2.

In addition to the 95/98/NT, it works with XP and Vista.

Thanks for the suggestion MS.

I've been running it on XP pro SP 2 for several years. Can't remember
if there were any "gotchas" on setting it up. Are you familiar with
how it works as a proxy? My startup folder contains a shortcut to
newsproxy.exe, which is a file of 245760 bytes. The folder containing
that file also has a file nfilter.dat with all my filters in it.

What happens when you try to load it?

Another thought: Might you have a firewall that is blocking it? Might
need to give permission to newsproxy.

Something like file not recognized as a windows 32 file.

Right Click on the file and extract it to a new directory. Then just
run the EXE file. I originally had the same problem. It was saying
something about 32 bit application, when I extracted it, it works
fine. I do not think it is even necessary to run the setup. On my XP
machine I just copied the directory and ran the exe file.

On another note, I tried to set this up running on my local server,
and then changing the Agent to access the Nfilter at 192.168.0.200
instead of localhost. It did not work. I was going to try and have
this just run on my server for all my PC's on my home network, but it
seems I can not hit my server for some reason. I opened my firewall
for testing and it made no difference.

Any ideas here?

Word is, that the incompatibility with XP is only the installation
program. Just run nfilter.exe executable file in its own folder, and
it should run fine.
