What firewall are you referring to?

Do you get any error messages?

Have you checked Event Viewer for problems?

For the firewall here are some things to try

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/resetfwpol.htm

1. Rebuild the Winsock LSP chain. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Log on to the Microsoft Windows XP workstation as an administrator.
b. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
c. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
netsh Winsock reset
