It sounds to me as though you have some Internet software which is blocking the connection. If you run msconfig on XP, you can see all of the startup applications and probably find a couple which are causing the problem; I would be suspicious of any media software, including all of the Real Networks stuff (especially RealDownload). Try disabling those, doing a reboot, and see if you can connect.
