Greetings --
If you're using AOL, you'll either need to find a 3rd party
firewall that is compatible with AOL, or switch to a real ISP that is
compatible with the real Internet. This is because AOL is an on-line
content provider that ignores international Internetworking standards
in favor of its own proprietary products, and has deliberately made
its connection software incompatible with both WinXP's built-in
firewall and WinXP's Internet Connection Sharing feature. AOL's
proprietary connection applet is deliberately designed to preclude
your setting/adjusting any of its properties, to include
enabling/disabling WinXP's ICF and ICS.
I believe that the free version of ZoneAlarm (www.zonelabs.com) is
AOL-compatible. Sygate's free Personal Firewall
(http://smb.sygate.com/buy/download_buy.htm ) is also AOL-Compatible
