FYI, I've figured out the problem. It was not the firewall script -- Ball &
Grennan's works perfectly. The problem was, not surprisingly, Windows. The
two affected machines had a Control Panel called "WSP Client." "Enable
Winsock Proxy Client" was checked, and it just needed to be unchecked. I'd
only been looking under the Networking and Internet control panels.
Bah. So, should any of you ever have this problem, here's your fix.
Best,
Waldo
