I'm running XP Pro with all current updates. I was reading about the built
in firewall and how to disable it if I had a router etc. Anyway, control
panel, network connections, properties and all I have is the general tab. I
believe that there should be two more, one being advanced. Any ideas or help
would be appreciated
Cheers Doug
 
Go to Start > Run and type: SERVICES.MSC , and hit enter.
Scroll down to "Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), right-click
on this service and select "Start". Then go back and enable your
firewall.

If you have AOL:

America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.

Visit the following web site for instructions on downloading
a FREE firewall program for your computer.
