xp firewall

Don't know much about xp's firewall, so please forgive
me, but how can you tell if it is enabled or disabled?
I'm on dial up if that helps and use a 3rd party firewall
and was just wondering if by using a 3rd party that xp's
automatically disables. I've never really messed with it
in xp settings.

Click to expand...

Network Connections - right click the connection concerned, Properties -
Advanced page. If it is enabled the top box will be checked.
