First off, can someone please explain to me what the "generic host process for win32 services" is? I run ZoneAlarm firewall, and i see that under the process running… I also see two of these… ???

"Windows 2000/XP only. SVCHOST is a generic process which acts as a host for other processes running from DLLs. Depending on the configuration of your system there may be more than one instance of SVCHOST showing in the Task List.

Recommendation :
An integral part of the operating system, leave alone"

It seems you have to allow access, or you can't go online (broadband), But not to act as server.

Hope this helps..
