It must be a firewall program you are using on your computer. It almost
sounds like you are using Zone Labs firewall, but I cold be wrong. You
would need to open this program and find the location where it stores its
program exceptions, and I don't remember that off hand.

If you are using the built in Windows XP SP2 firewall then you can just go
to the Network Connections.

Start | Control Panel | Windows Firewall
On the Exceptions tab find the program you want and either uncheck it to not
allow it or check it to allow it.
