Where your computer connects to the internet, your computer connects to a box(router/modem) then that to a phone jack....

Yep, what you need to do is port forward on your router. Have you identified yours yet?

xp has a built in firewall
try a program called port magic http://www.purenetworks.com/products/portmagic/ free trail and it will open ports that are closed

alright thanks.....
