That's what I was afraid of... it's a new install of Win Server 2003 R2, so I can rule out any third party firewall. Windows Firewall is NOT installed. And I've installed Postgres on a Windows XP box behind the same router, so it's not a router-firewall issue.
It's probably a new R2 feature, I'll ping someone at Microsoft because I don't have a clue at this point what the problem is...

Not that I know of, but it's been on my list of things to try :-)

That error means: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way
forbidden by its access permissions.

It certainly *sounds* a lot like a firewall issue :-) I'd double and
triple check that. We've seen it several times before and it has AFAIK
always been a firewall.
