Tentative answer:
KB article 555179
The Windows XP SP2 Firewall Exception Remote Assistance
does not include all of the settings required so that the
Windows Firewall will allow the incoming Remote
Assistance offers to be received.
To receive Offers of Remote Assistance, the target
(novice's) computer must accept incoming connections to
sessmgr.exe, helpsvc.exe and on TCP port 135. By
default, the Windows XP SP2 Windows Firewall feature
blocks incoming connections to sessmgr.exe, helpsvc.exe
and TCP port 135.
go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;en-us;555179&Product=winxp
for more details.
Note: I've modified the settings mentioned in the
icf..but as yet haven't tested them.. check back to this
post for updates....
