My problem *may* have been related to a b0rked installation of our 
anti-virus software (Kaspersky) blocking traffic when it wasn't supposed 
to. Hopefully the re-install of that will fix the problems. (we noticed we 
couldn't remote control the machine using LANDesk, either, since Kaspersky 
was blocking that traffic, too - that's what led us to look at Kaspersky 
as the culprit,)
