First off… awesome site

Second off… I am not really sure on this, but can a firewall effect a preloader?

The way I see it, the preloader loads what is in the Flash movie (on the server -\> on the page), not whats on your computer (right?), So I don’t see how a firewall would effect the preloader :-\

I am not sure I understand you Vendi…

If Internet Explorer goes or Netscape goes, it all goes???

How does that relate to firewalls or this problem?

I am confused…lol.

The only thing I can think of is if you are trying to send or recive something to the user before the page loads (like some kind of script that collects info). But other than that I dont think the site should have a problem loading with windows XP and it’s firewall. I am using XP with the built in Firewall and it loaded fine.

maybe it’s just the computer you were testing it on…?
