SP2 Firewalls

[CW]

Have just installed SP2 and now WinMX or Kazaa won't allow trading. Have set
Firewall to except them even added ports but still not working. Any
suggestions? Or just uninstall it?

Adding a program exception:

1. Use an Administrator account to log on.
2. Click Start, click Run, type: Wscui.cpl , and then click OK.
3. In the Windows Security Center window, click Windows Firewall.
4. On the Exceptions tab, click Add Program.
5. In the list of programs, click the name of the program you want to add,
and then click OK. If the name of your program is not in the list of programs,
click Browse to locate the program, and then click OK.

Have already applied these settings but still cannot get them to allow other
users to upload from me. Anything else that may work would be helpfull
