I hope someone can help me here, I'm trying to turn off the Firewall in XP
service pack 2,(we have our own Checkpoint one).
OK so I think I'll just turn it off, that'll do it. Restart the PC and the
things back on, repeat the operation, back on.
So I created a custom 'netfw'.inf file to turn off the firewall, used the
command 'netsh firewall reset' to implement the settings, and it works
everything is turned off.
Now when I reboot the PC the settings are back to the defaults again ie,
firewall is on, block exceptions etc.
Strange I think, I know I'll do it through Group Policy (Win2k), so I set
the policy settings to disable the firewall (both domain and standard
profile), restart the PC to apply the policy, it's still set to the default(
on etc).
ArrrrrrGGGHHHH
What is happening here? Can you actuall turn this thing off for good?
Please help
