I would be interested in what your configuration is. Do you use IPSec
encryption (I do)? Do you use NetBIOS (I do not)? Did you upgrade from and
existing Windows XP SP2 install?

This firewall makes it very challenging to troubleshoot problems, so I find
it best to disable it until you have everything working right, then enable.
