Did you disable Windows firewall? You did not mention it under firewalls, although you run Windows XP. It is recommended that you have only one firewall on your computer, or they may interfere with each other.

Go to control panel...Windows firewall...disable

Yes it was off.

You may have a firewall in your modem. Read this thread:
