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.
 
Greetings --

To enable/disable the built-in firewall, Start > Network
Connections > Right-click the connection > Properties > Advanced >

Click to expand...

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