______________^^^ Are you *sure* about that ???

Windows Server 2003 release 2 comes with the windows firewall switched
on by default, and WMS is not enabled to traverse that until you
specifically enable it. This is a perfectly reasonable security
measure to keep the box locked down until a server role is configured
and access permissions are set to your satisfaction.

If in doubt, so to the firewall and the easiest way is to add
wmservices.exe to the exceptions list, as stated in this document
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/serve/firewall.aspx#WindowsFirewall
