Someone in aus.computers.mac was having the same problem. I don't know
what the problem could be, but they were happy with a workaround I
suggested: if the 'Firewall' you mention is actually a proxy, use Authoxy.
You'll never have to enter your username and password again, and in case
it has been troubling you, Software Update, MacHelp, iTunes streams/radio
and Quicktime web content, etc, will work.

Obvious disclaimer: I wrote Authoxy. Get it from
