rather odd.
please verify that you're seeing the Windows Firewall dialog with the name
of the app and the three buttons about allowing, blocking, and asking later.
The dialog is designed with a common theme shared by a couple different new
security features that shipped with xpsp2 so I want to rule out that you're
just seeing someone else's notification.
also take a look in the registry for:
hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windowsfirewall
see if there is differing info between the Standard and Domain settings.
there might be some other regkeys to check, but let's start with this for
the moment.
