[PD] ports again

[Andres Cabrera]

I've seen problems with thing like McAffee firewalls and the new windows 
service pack. You are asked once if you will allow pd to access the 
port. If you answer no, pd will not run. You need to find the 
configuration menu for whatever is bolcking the ports (The McAffe 
configuration or the Windows security center), and unblock pd.
The weird thing in your case is that pd runs sometimes...

Cheers,
Andrés
