Pinging 82.41.120.211 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 82.41.120.211:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)

The fact that you can't ping something doesn't mean it isn't alive and
working. ICMP traffic is blocked a lot of the time.
I don't know what the IP address you're pinging is, or from where. If this
is your home PC's public IP address, and you're trying to ping it from a
computer on the Internet, it's likely to fail. This is not a bad thing.

Kazaa, on the other hand, *is* a bad thing. Don't run it or anything like
it. You are asking for trouble, and that's not even getting into the issue
of legal trouble. Anybody who makes a living supporting PCs will tell you
the same thing - peer to peer file sharing software is Bad News. :(

Man, absolutely, wilco, roger, and all that stuff - get rid of Kazaa -
period.
