Please don't start more than one thread.

You may have the XP Internet Connection Firewall enabled.
Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network Connections, Local Area
Connections, General tab, Properties button, Advanced tab, and uncheck the
box, "Protect my computer and network....... etc", click "OK"
