Do you get any errors when sending messages from the SP2 machine? Any
errors when sending to the SP2 machine? Have you verified the messenger
service is started on the machine?

I thought the messenger service got disabled by the sp2 installation.

It does, thus my reason for asking to verify that the service is started.
