[snip some of thread, mostly mine, about XP firewall config]

The other "dimension" of the Firewall policy is the set of
ports (port numbers) allowed for the programs. The 3rd tab
of the Security Center/Windows Firewall dialog box might
shed some light on that.

As a diagnostic, I'd try disabling the XP Firewall briefly,
perhaps while not connected to the Internet, and see if the
programs start working. For what it's worth, I uninstalled
5.9.0 and installed 5.9.2, and it's working (at least as
well as 5.9.0 did!).
