Several PC's on our work network are showing up with ports in the XP Firewall
exceptions list and Event Viewer is showing Windows Media Listening for these
same ports. I looked up the ports and found they all belong to the
Microsoft XBox 360 in document http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910635 We
did not open those ports and we should definately not have anyone using an
XBox on our network. Some of our users have complained lately that the
network seems slower when it comes to Internet access. Any ideas what is
going on or how these ports have been put in the exception list? Trying not
to panic but definately concerned at this point.

Thanks!
