On my system, with a recent clean install of Windows XP plus SP2, NAV2005
did want to disable the Windows firewall when it was installed. To the Best
Of My Memory. Somewhere during the installaton of NAV2005 a screen came up
with two or three configuration options. One of these was disable Windows
Firewall, and it was already selected as an option. I read this, was
surprised, unchecked it, and continued.
