From the error message and Win2K memories, I have a suspicion... If I
remember correctly, both Win2K and WinXP (guaranteed in the latter, not
sure about the former) come with a built-in firewall, enabled by default.
Make sure it is disabled. I don't have sufficient access on this machine
to check where those settings are located, but check your networking
settings.
