From the official MS website:
SUMMARY
After you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), some
programs may seem not to work. By default, Windows Firewall is enabled
and blocks unsolicited connections to your computer. This article
discusses how to make an exception and enable a program to run by adding
it to the list of exceptions. This procedure permits the program to work
as it did before the service pack was installed.
