This question has already been discussed, I am just after some
confirmation to eradicate any doubts.

I run XP (SP2), NIS 2006. I no longer want to run the NIS Firewall. Is
there any way to run NIS (exluding its firewall) and turn the Windows
firewall on by default? At the moment, I have to turn it on manually
every time I start the computer.I gather from previous posts that
running NIS means you cannot set the Windows firewall to be on by
default.

Check out this Symantec FAQ regarding their product compatibility with
Windows Firewall.
