Well I unistalled service pack two and now everything works fine. Thanks everyone for your help. I guess if others have the same problem they know what to do.

It would make more sense to see if anyone else is having trouble with XP SP2, because I'm using my empeg with XP SP2 and it's working fine. I've not tried any large syncs, but I can definitely connect and enumerate the content every time. I have the XP SP2 firewall set to the default settings.

I did select "Unblock" when I ran emplode the first time, though. I don't know why XP thinks that emplode is attempting to accept connections from the outside world, but I trust the person who wrote it .

For the record, I'm using a D-Link DSL-604+ router. My desktop PC is plugged directly into one of the ports on this. Into one of the other ports is plugged a Netgear FS-108 switch, and into this switch is plugged my empeg. DHCP is provided by one of my Linux boxen, which is also plugged into the switch.
