Hi,
I had a similar problem. I had xp-sp1 with xp native fw (ICF) switched on and a
third-party firewall everything works fine, but if i do the same with xp-sp2 my
system crashes. but only on one type of pc (hardware), on another type with the
same software configuration everything is ok. I think it's a kind of a driver
problem. i changed the NIC of the box from a Marvell to SMC and now it works.
perhaps you can try new drivers for your NICs before changing your hardware.

Subject: Win XP SP2 firewall problem...
Hello list,
I have windows XP box used as proxy server for my users,
there are two firewalls on it - first is win XP SP2 native
firewall, second is sygate personal firewall, for additional
filtering...
There is also aDSL dial connection to the internet...
After I reboot the computer, everything works fine...until I
log on to the system...then XP native firewall simply crash
and I can see opened ports, so I have to turn it on
manually...from now on the firewall remains on, doesn't
matter if I log off and log on again...but after I reboot the
computer and log on, the firewall is switched off again...can
somebody advice...? I seem to be helpless, although I had any
suspicions of any worms or viruses, but I didn' find any...
