Installation of SP2

[Jan]

I already have a firewall installed with my broadband
connection. Will there be any implications when
installing SP2 as the notes I have read indicate that
this automatically turns on the XP firewall.

Many thanks.

Hi Jan

If you have a reliable 3rd party Firewall installed, the XP Firewall can be
disabled after SP2 has been installed.

Jan,

It does automatically turn the Windows Firewall on,
however, it's easy enough just to switch it off. Below
is a guide on how to switch it off:

B.T.W What firewall are you using?
