This behavior may also affect programs and tools that send User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets. CauseThis behavior occurs because security update MS05-019 changes the way raw sockets work when Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) is disabled. By default, ICF is disabled in Microsoft Windows XP with SP1. WorkaroundTo work around this behavior, enable ICF. After you start ICF, you can send TCP packets and UDP packets over raw sockets. To enable ICF in Windows XP with SP1, follow these steps:
More informationTraffic over raw sockets is also restricted in Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2. For more information about this restriction, see the "Restricted traffic over raw sockets" section of the following Microsoft Web site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457156.aspx If you frequently use tools that send packets over raw sockets, we suggest that you use Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Windows Server 2003 does not restrict traffic over raw sockets.
