I use a Zone Alarm firewall but, thought I would also
switch on the SP2 firewall too. It seems that most people
want to turn it off from the logs but, given that it is
free I thought I would run both.
However, when I enable the SP2 firewall through the
Control Panel it seems to stay on for the duration I am
online but when I log on again the SP2 firewall is off.
How can I ensure that it stays on all the time instead of
having to do it manually each time I log on.

You don't need two firewalls and they may conflict with each other, the XP
firewall also has no outbound protection. Stick with ZA.

Hi

I would think it is Zone Alarm that turns the Windows Firewall off.
