And are you sure that the MS-Firewall is off?? As the SP2 update re-enables it
and causes nothing but problems with other firewall software (Like Norton
Personal Firewall for example). Also check the services to see that it's not
running as well. As turning it off in the control panel doesn't remove the
service. You will have to do that manually. Damn MS firewall crap!!
