UDP Server Not Working On 2000 Server

My client asked for a transparent help desk pager system to run on their network. There is a client that runs windowless and monitors a hot key. When the user presses the hot key the client broadcasts a UDP message over the network. The server (running on tech machines) listens for those messages and alerts the tech that there was a call for help and the machine name the call came from. This works great accept when the server is running on a Win 2000 Server. Then the server is deaf. It never hears the UDP messages. Both the client and server are writen using Delphi 7 and IdUDPServer. Is there something I need to do to configure the 2000 Server to make this program work?
