I'd say XP's firewall is acting like the gentleman Andy, and has bowed out to allow Sygate to take the lead here. that's my theory anyway. I'd close down xp's firewall if using another as, well... this'll save possible future complications and I'd feel a lot better just having one firewall running rather than two. Plus, it'll save on resources being used. that's always important.
