Like Bob, I cannot access the Windows XP Firewall on my
AOL connection. AOL says its Microsoft's problem. Can
someone please help? Is this just an AOL glitch or is it
XP?
 
Please read replies to the original post - posting a "me, too" message isn't
recommended practice. Thanks. :-)
 
Greetings --

You'll need to find a 3rd party firewall that is compatible with
AOL.

AOL has deliberately made their software incompatible with WinXP's
firewall. AOL's proprietary connection applet is deliberately
designed to preclude your setting/adjusting any of its properties, to
include enabling/disabling WinXP's firewall, which is
connection-specific.
