Disbable Windows XP Firewall using GPO in Windows 2000 Server

[Guest]

I have a Windows 2000 Server domain enviroment. I want to disable Windows
Firewall from all Windows XP SP2 computers using GPO. I read that going to
Computer Configuration
\Administrative Templates
\Network
\Network Connections
\Windows Firewall
i can disable windows firewall, but in Windows 2000 Server I only see
Computer Configuration
\Administrative Templates
\Network.

Is there any template or I have to do something else.

Any ideas?

It´s because of the "if version" entry inside the ADM file.
You can´t "see" it, because 2000 can´t deal with it.
Edit the XP Settings from a XP Workstation. Bestpractise:
Use the GPMC.
