    I have Windows XP Home and am trying to connect with linksys to automatically
    reconfigure my router. When i go the security center to turn off my
    Firewall, it never changes the status to "Off". It stays on "Check Status"
    and will not allow the download I need from linksys' website to occur. Why
    will it not turn off, or is there another way of doing this, or bypassing so
    I can get to download what i need for my wireless PC? Please help.....my
    Email address is gsigala67@msn.com
