This may sound stupid but you claim your not very good with computers so...

click on start->run type cmd click ok
A dos like box opens...
at the cmd prompt type "ping www.microsoft.com" without quotes. This will prove your connected to the internet.

Can you ping the server your trying to connect to?
Can you connect to other voice servers?

Windows XP installs its own firewall if you use the wizard to configure a network card... I don't know if this is your problem and I didn't use the XP firewall so I don't know how to configure it.

Sorry if the information is too basic and I hope I helped.
