If your setup hasn't changed at all and it's just the ISP has changed it
could well be down to them, I've not idea how Bellsouth work but some ISPs
do block certain ports so that could be a factor.

Hi Earl,

To solve the Problem Getting DP2 Interface error visit:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=285862

Basically, you'll need to give BellSouth a call and ask them
to disable the NAT firewall in their DSL modem. If they
aren't certain if the modem uses NAT, connect using dialup
to prove that the issue isn't caused by Windows XP.
