Thats impossible!

Have you installed XP Service Pack 2? The firewall blocked my wc3 unless i disabled it in the network configuration.

Or maybe you have reinstalled your network connection. Then the windows firewall enables it again.

I have a german windows but i try to tell u where the config is.

Network Connections -> LAN-Connection 1 -> Advanced Tab -> Internet Connection Firewall (Make sure this box is not checked)

Thats the only advice i can give you cause of the things you told i can not imagine an other problem.

Hope i helped u.
