I successfully created and populated the database (had to take out the character set statement) and was able to browse to the admin page. When I submit a password change to the admin account, the page hangs and all network access is gone. I cannot ping anything, render a web page or telnet. If I stop Apache and mySQL, network access is back. I noticed this on other admin pages as well.

One note. Initially a "missing email_from value in php.ini" error appeared on the admin page. I set a valid e-mail address and the message disappeared.

Any clues? Thanks in advance.

This is my environment:

Windows Server 2003
Php 5.0
My Sql 4.0
Apache 2.2.0

Should have known immediately - it was the firewall. I thought I disabled ZoneAlarm, but I had to completely uninstall it. I guess I could have figured out exactly which service was still running and disabled it. I knew the Windows firewall was disabled, so I didn't think of the firewall being the problem. I also changed my WAMP from WinLamp to xampp. That probably had nothing to do with the fix though.
