Paul --
The first thing you should do is enable XP's built-in Firewall:
1. In Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet Connections, and
then click Network Connections.
2. Right-click the connection on which you would like to enable ICF, and
then click Properties.
3. On the Advanced tab, click the box to select the option to Protect my
computer or network.

Then read and follow the procedures outlined in the following articles:
