Just use the McAfee complete suite. It should offer to turn off the XP firewall for you, if not you can shut it off. Using both slows down traffic. Zone Alarm is FREE because it is SPY WARE.............

Knowing what Firewall you have would help to answer your question. What you'll have to do is turn the firewall off or (better) add the program to that firewall's list of programs not to be blocked. You can probably find your firewall by hovering over the icons in your startup menu until you see the name of it. It could just be the Windows firewall (kind of looks like a shield).
