MS has put a nasty Easter-Egg into XP/SP3 installations of the latest generation.
If - during installation of XP-VM - you chose to have the firewall turned off, the GUI displays the firewall indeed as being off, but that is _not_ the case. Turn it on, reboot, turn it off again, and see if you can connect. We had this issue on several machines in the last weeks. mit freundlichen Grüßen, André Knappstein EDV und Controlling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ beta Eigenheim- und Grundstücksverwertungsgesellschaft mbH Hafenweg 4 59192 Bergkamen-Rünthe Telefon: +49 2389 9240 140 Telefax: +49 2389 9240 150 e-mail: i...@beta-eigenheim.de Amtsgericht Hamm Nr.
