Are you an administrator? If not, I'd suggest you contact the Administrator.

If not, I'd suggest that you go to: http://housecall.trendmicro.com (using
Internet Explorer) and perform a free, online scan of your system for
mal-ware.

Is it possible that another firewall product is installed and running? My
company happens to use the Symantec firewall, and before I realized this I was
puzzled by the same sort of message that you're reporting.

The above suggestions are assuming that you are not connected to a Windows
network where Group Policy is being applied or the Administrator of your XP
machine is not using Group Policy to control local settings on the machine.
