Help Disabling XP Firewall

[JOn Brockman]

I know how to disable it, however, No 'Advanced' tab
exists in the properties if my connection! I am logged in
as a computer Administrator, but it doesnt exist! Or, i
would like to open some TCP and UDP ports, but it will
not allow me 2, it says will not work for my internet
gateway, and I need to change the Internet Gateway
through the web interface... Where can I find this?

Look for a Network Bridge in the Network Connections folder. If it's
there, right-click and delete it, which will restore the Advanced tab
to the local area network connection.

The Internet Gateway is another device on your network -- probably a
broadband router or Internet Connection Sharing host computer.
