How to resolve the problem depends on if you have XP Pro or XP Home and if
local Group Policy [via gpedit.msc] has been modified on an XP Pro computer.
See the link below on how Group Policy and registry settings are used to
manage the Windows Firewall. If you are sure that a Group Policy setting has
not been modified then logon as a local administrator and use regedit to
navigate to and delete the registry keys that are causing the restriction if
you are comfortable editing the registry. Otherwise you can use
services.msc to stop and disable the Windows Firewall service. --- Steve
