If anyone knows how to permanently get rid of this firewall i really need some advice. i already know control panel but it still exists and screws up quite a few of my programs . Any help would be appreciated. Thx
i dont believe you can get rid of it being that it is integrated into windows xp. you can disable it by going into the control panel/network connections/ right click on your internet connection/ choose properties/ go to the advanced tab/ then click on the firewall settings.
SP2 contains this intergrated firewall, go back to SP1 if possible. If you downloaded SP2 from microsoft then you can uninsatll SP2.
