Thank You Mr Galema!!!
 You enlightened me :-) ... The matter should be in my "server application" 
cause it is not an application ata all :)
It is a service!!!
So now the question is how to make a TServerSocket working with Windows XP 
Firewall when it's embedded in a service?
Keep in mind that I use to run the service both manually (that is after XP 
Firewall has been executed) and at Windows start!

Regards,
Stefano B.
