Dear Phyllis To shut down the Windows XP Pro Firewall, go to Setting>Control Panel> Security Center. You should be able to turn off the Windows Firewall from there. If the firewall program you want to use has a small icon on the system bar, you will be able to tell if it is enabled or not.
I use ZoneAlarm and I have a small icon showing it is running. Only when I disable it, does Windows notify that my computer is not protected. One other thing, running two firewall programs at the same time can cause program conflicts. brrgh2004 -------Original Message------- From: Phyllis Date: 12/10/04 21:12:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Firewall conflict Great information but where do I go to shut Win XP Pro firewall down?..and thanks, --Phyllis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 7:17 PM Subject: Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Firewall conflict > > That's the point Phyllis, you are advised to shut down XP SP2 Firewall if > you have a third party firewall that is already in existence.
