I am also having this same problem and its starting to get on my nervs.

I have contacted microsoft SP2 tech support at 1-800-936-5700 and they told
me to turn off SP2 firewall, something is really messed up here, and they
dont want to say what the problem is,

if anyone knows any solutions to this please help,
