Hi all!
 I installed WinXP SP2, and it enabled Windows XP firewall ... when an 
application tries to open a LAN (or internet) connection a window pops up 
asking me what to do, if to block the connection, or let it open...
But when I execute my own client/server applications that use Borland 
TServerSocket/TClientSocket to communicate over LAN they simply fail to 
enstablish a connection, without having prompted anything :(
The only workaround I found was to shut down the firewall :(
Does anybody know how to make Borland applications work as the other ones?
Thank You very much in advance!
Stefano B.
