The XP firewall is active.
Start/right click My NetworkPlaces, choose properties.
Right click Local Area Connection, choose properties.
Click on Advanced Tab, and disable the XP firewall.
Since you are hooked up through a router, you should be safe from inbound
traffic. If concerned about outbound, you will have to purchase firewall
software, or wait for SP2 to be released.
