How can I disable "Group Policy" control of my Windows Firewall?

I think it's interfering with my ability to set up a workgroup connection.

Many thanks in advance.

Hmmmm. The only time you'd normally see a Windows Firewallcontrolled by
group policy, is when you're on a domain ....which makes me curious as to
why you mention a workgroup at all. If you *are* on a domain, you likely
won't have control over the group policy settings anyway. Stopping the
underlying service (if you have local admin rights) would effectively
disable the firewall, but I think you might provide a bit more info as to
your config and perhaps you can get more help.
