Windows XP right? Windows firewall is dreadful. For some reason even when you turn it off there's an additional option that keeps it enabled for the network connections by default.
Go to the control panel and click security center. Select windows firewall. Change it to be off. Then click the Advanced tab and uncheck the wireless network connection. Click OK.
Try it again, cheers.

Your wireless connection needs a firewall, the problem is probably that you have two firewalls in place, one on the router and one on windows itself, I can only talk for my own system, I run Aol through a wireless router, to do this you have to disable windows firewall, you should be able to check on the router status that it has a firewall in place. If you still get problems you may have 3 firewalls in place one on the internet software (Aol, tiscali etc) in this case you can choose which to put in place, and disable the other two.
