Can't connect to Windows XP (GUEST/Bridged) via Remote Desktop. How to enable network access to a Windows Guest OS?

I have a Windows XP guest that I have configured as bridged. This guest OS is also configured with a static IP address. I also tried other services that should be available such a FTP Server, and I couldn't connect to any of them. How does one make network based services available from an Window XP Image? I haven't run into this problem if I run a LINUX based guest OS.

TIA

Do you have a firewall or something in XP?
