Can the new Windows Firewall that is part of XP SP2 be turned off? I'm
running Kerio PF and want to continue using that product.
 
yes, you can turn off the Windows Firewall in the Windows XP SP2.

To do this:
A) Go to Control Panel
B) Double Click on the "Security Center" control panel Item
C) Choose "Windows Firewall" from Security Center
D) "windows Firewall" will show you 2 options on the general tab.
E) Choose Off options.

Recommended practice is that you should not turn off the firewall. To have
