Which will make no difference (unless it's causing excessive network
activity, check for that), since IVS does not involve any of your
computers. Just the Replay and the router. What else did you do when
you upgraded to XP?

Why? See above. You could also try it with that computer(s) running XP
turned off.

Is that the port your Replay uses for IVS?

First, I'd check my Replay directly. I use.
http://66.76.26.153:29000/ivs-IVSGetUnitInfo
This also tests the port forwarding on your router. Replace
"66.76.26.153" with your public IP** and "29000" with the IVS port set
on your Replay. You should get a page that looks like:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<UnitInfo isn="00004-54831-60130" nickname="Something" />
And identifies your Replay.

There would be no harm in giving the complete local IPs. Local IPs are
not accessible from the internet anyway. The "xx" is hiding whether or
not you are using a unique IP for the router. A conflict would cause
problems.
A firewall on the computer* will have no effect on IVS, which is not
going through your computer.
&&
* - I would definately NOT trust a firewall that's part of XP. MS has
put in all the holes it wants, making that firewall close to useless.
However, it can't be the cause of your Replay problem.
** - If your router does not support "loopback" you'll need to use the
local IP of your Replay. Try both.
