Windows XP has a firewall built into it with your
internet connection. There is no way to change the
settings for it that I know of, you can only disable it
and enable it. You disable/enable the ICF by going to
Control panel--Network connections-- You then will see
what you have named you ISP connection. RIGHT CLICK on
this and hit properties, move along to the ADVANCED TAB
and then you will see a little box of information and a
check box to enable the firewall.
