What firewall?

I have XP Professional with SP1 and was able with LeechFTP to upload and
publish my web pages to my hosting company no problem. Then inexplicably
this all changed on the 15th of February and I have since been unable to
update my Customer web pages with either LeechFTP, Filezilla or CoreFTP.
After investigation it appears I have received three security updates on
the date everything stopped working. (I was getting a socket error) When I
removed the SECURITY UPDATES (KB 944533 & 943055 & 946026) I still was
unable to upload my web pages. But low and behold if I drop my firewall
everything is now working. In terms of a security update this is a bit of
a disaster and the changes in my firewall appear irreparable. Is there any
way I can successfully use FTP without disabling my firewall?

PS Line 1 should of course read XP Professional with SP2
