I've got a Server 2008 computer and I'm trying to start up a service.
However, I get an error indicating that "Windows Filtering Platform has
blocked a bind to a local port."

The crazy thing is that I've turned off the filtering using the following:
Netsh.exe AdvFirewall Set CurrentProfile State Off
(From:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/for...-22183ef399f8/)

Then I tried turning the FW on and adding an exclusion for the EXE. No joy.

Yes, my FilterRTID is 0 (per the blog above) , but just because there is a
bug in the log entry doesn't mean my Service is starting.

Here is the log entry with the error:
