I need to disable or turn off the windows firewall (XP pro SP2) but the
button in the firewall console is light grey. In other words, I can not turn
it off. Can anyone help me? Thanx, Anders

For what reason do you "need to disable or turn off the windows firewall"?

Troubleshooting reasons. I can no longer connect to a server through vpn,
which used to work perfectly and I suspect that it is the firewall that plays
tricks on me. Do you have any ideas?

Is this computer
1. part of the domain? -> ask your IT
2. standalone/workgroup -> are there errors in event viewer?, is windows
firewall / ICS service started?, is there policy applied?
