Disabling my firewall (Norton) for a few minutes resolved
this problem.
If only Microsoft ran the world we wouldn't have these
problems!

There is information in the help for Microsoft Antispyware with filenames
and ports for configuring firewalls.

I'm not at all sure that it is accurate, though--please confirm the
filenames with those actually present on your machine, and bear in mind that
they may change over the course of the beta.
