I am using Windows XP with service pack 2.
After visiting Symantec and completing a security check I go the following
resutls.

Port ICMP Ping Open
Port 23 Telnet Open
Port 80 HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) Open

How can this be fixed using Windows XP Fire Wall
 
With WinXP built-in firewall you can do nothing - it just
thinks for you :-) Should you need more safety, use better
firewall: Kerio, ZoneAlarm, etc.
