Firewall turning itself on.. not my imagination

[BeingFoolish]

This is NOT my imagination. I have a 7 computer network here in my
office. Suddenly I am finding compuers cannot connect to each other.
When I look for the problem, I find the firewall turned on.

I turn off the firewall, and it happens again. I find the firewall
turned on again.

I know it is happening everytime a machine boots up, but I think it is
also happening while they're running. I haven't nailed that down yet.

Can someone help with this?

Look in Services for a firewall service that may still be running even
though you think you have the firewall turned off.

I want to make sure that I have made it clear that it is more than one
computer that is doing this. At least 3 are doing this!

Thank you!!!

I found it on all three machines.

Will go to check others.

Good, just make certain that if you don't want these firewalls to be active
that you set the service Startup Type to: 'Disabled'.
