It doesn't actually (I run XP SP2 at home).  You just have allow
network access to port 2401 (which will happen automatically - you'll
get a 'Do you want to allow access' popup the first time it starts up,
then you just hit yes and everything else works) - MS at least write
firewalls that don't totally screw up the system (just wish others
would).

Win2000 isn't getting more updates AFAIK so it wouldn't affect that.

Run cvsdiag and have a look at protocol stack - you'll probably find
there's an AV/Firewall hooking into it.   There's a link to a program
that fixes it in the FAQ.
