To Mercenary:

Are you using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) ?
If not using ICS , AND you do not wish to use the xp firewall.... Run services.msc and disable Windows Firewall / ICS service.

Use Security Center to re-review notification settings, and restart XP.

I'm not using XP firewall (but ZoneAlarm) and did my selections through both Control Panel & Security Center.
Told it to not monitor firewall.

My settings for Security Center in registry: FirewallDisableNotify = 1 and FirewallOverride = 1.

I'm not getting any nag popups.
