J Jupiter Jones [MVP] Jun 12, 2004 #3 Many feel it is a mistake Microsoft did not have the firewall enabled by default. In Service Pack 2 the firewall is on by default. You should turn the firewall on unless you already have another firewall enabled. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ Why is the firewall that comes with XP off by default?
