Some programs seem to stop working after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2

Much apreciated, alas, I tried these steps in here and they were of no
help/value to me whatsoever, I even went so far as to uninstall and reinstall
other Firewalls such as Trend Mico's PC-Cillan, I tried ALL the steps
pertaining to WIN XP Firewall and THAT did NOT help....Still could NOT
connect to my file sharing app....

What else can be the cause and solution, if any?

Thanks,

Click to expand...

To determine if the problem is the new Windows Firewall, go to Control Panel
| Windows Firewall and turn it OFF. Then reboot and try again. If it
doesn't help, I'd want to turn it on soon, but this will at least tell you
if it's getting in the way.
