Outlook 2002 Will Not Connect to Server after WinXP SP2 Install

Anyone aware of why Outlook 2002 would not connect to a
POP3 mail server after installing Windows XP Service Pack
2?
I wanted to get the enhanced firewall and security
improvements from the SP, but after installation NOTHING
would get Outlook 2002 (or Outlook Express) to "connect"
to my POP3 E-mail server. Went thru all possible "fixes"
including blowing away the account info and creating a
brand new one - nothing worked until I used System
Restore to rollback to pre-SP2 - then Outlook works again.
