I want to turn off Windows Firewall because I have another firewall I want
to use. I have a windows 20003 server - domain. Windows XP Pro on
workstations. I see that the network connection are firewalled. I went to
Security Center and to the Windows firewall settings. I won't give me the
option to turn off the firewalled it is greyed out. The new computer came
with Micro Trend PC Cillan preloaded - full subscrption. I took all
references of that out of the networking and msconfig etc. I am still
firellwalled. I will let me edit the viurs. I wondering if there may be a
scropt that is stopping this? Somebody else set this up. I am just
replacing the computers (workstation). Is there settings that I should
change somewhere?
 
When it's greyed out, it's a very good chance that the domain's group policy
is set to enable the firewall [this assuming you have admin rights on the PC].
 
The Windows Firewall is a service, and the simple way to control its status
is to set the service (in services.msc) to Auto or Disabled, as required.
