Hi,

For some reason the settings for my windows firewall is grayed out and set
to on. I want it to be off since it interferes with our corporate firewall.
We have everyone turn of their firewall but I no longer can do this. The
userId has administrative rights so it is not a permissions thing. I have
tried logging on as the network administrator but it remains grayed out and
set to on. Can someone help?

Thanks,

Can you give me more information? Where do I type in this line of code?

The instructions are at the top of the page. But basically, you
right-click the link to the .reg file, and save it to the desktop. Then
double-click the file and it will be installed automagically. Or,
right-click, click Merge.
