No running service, no vulnerability, no problem. I'm just talking about
opening one single port.

I'll play with the test program I've written. Maybe this will get an simple

But first I have to find an WinXP with installed ICF anywhere. Win2k did 
not have it and the plain XP box (no SPs) here hasn't it either.
