>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.
