AFAIK Windows services by default do not have network access rights.
They run in a special "local" service account that does not allow access
to the network.

What I don't know is if "network" means any network including tcp/ip
here, or if "network" means only windows networking.

Try running your service under an interactive account and see if the
problem persists.

I'm sure there's more info in the appropriate windows newsgroups on this
topic.
