I don't have a fix for your problem. I just wanted to

If you have Windows XP, please turn on the supplied Internet Connection
Firewall (ICF):

Turn off the Windows Messenger service:

Messenger Service

Next time, please post in a Windows networking or security group. This group
is for IIS (webserver) security.
