This may be the cause, though as of now, it is not online yet. But it
maybe by the time your read this.

Subject: Windows XP SP2 may be unable to make TCP connections to
loopback address other than 127.0.0.1
Newsgroups: microsoft.public.platformsdk.networking

With Windows XP SP2 some applications which connect to the loop back
address range may not function as expected. This is because Windows XP
SP2 prevents connections to the loop back address range for any
address other than 127.0.0.1.

Microsoft support has an update available which addresses this issue
and is available by calling Microsoft support. Reference the fix for
KB 884020.

The fix contains the following file info
13-Aug-2004 22:50 5.1.2600.2505 359,040 Tcpip.sys

Thank you,
