Makes not difference at all.  A socket is a socket regardless of whether it
is being used in a standalone application or a service.  Firewalls handle
all sockets the same way.

By getting rid of the firewall.  There is nothing wrong with using
TServerSocket in a service in general.  It works fine.  The XP firewall is
just being stupid.  If you need a firewall, use a real firewall, not
Microsoft's poor excuse for a firewall.
