How do I let my firewall give automatic access to earthlink?

Question

What program should I unblock in the exceptions list?
It's annoying that my pc keeps asking whether I should allow or block earthlink.

Additional details: Its the MS Windows XP Firewall. What item do I check in the exception list?

The question that pops up everytime I connect to earthlink is Allow or Block. I pick Allow but on next boot up and connect, the question pops up again.

You don't say what firewall that you are using. If it is zonealarm free, all you do is check off the box remember and allow when the firewall popup from the tray to ask you what yo what to do with an incoming packet. Will never ask you again about the same access..
