hi! julia, you dont have to initialize the built-in firewall, just
right-click to your dial-up connections and select properties, go to
Advanced tab and enable your firewall, just like that its automatic. If you
want to locate this, just go to Administrative Tools and select Services
and find this name: Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS), you can see if its already start or not, but if you share
files with others send a files to YM or any buddy its already enabled.
