Mully, how do you turn off or on the XXXP firewall? I
used to voice chat and do remote assistance with a friend
but keep getting a firewall msg now. I can do remote
assistane with another computer on my home network but
get the firewall msg when I try to go out on the
internet. I can do IMing but no voice or remote
asisstance.
