Which OS you are using?

If you are using WIN XP Pro with SP2

Follow these steps

Click on start=====>Run in the box type "services.msc" scrolldown to where it displays "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection

Sharing (ICS)" when highlighted right click and select "Properties" in the dropdown menu where it says "Startup Type" left click and

select "Disabled" click ok and while still in the services window and having the firewall highlighted click in blue letters Stop. You may get a error do not worry this is completely normal.

Now exit to the services window (your finally done with that) now the last step. Click Start====>Run and in the box type "cmd" a black window should pop up. Now simply type "sc" delete Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). You may get an error again, don't fear this is also normal.

The steps that we took when doing this was opening up the services menu which is exactly what the windows firewall, a service. But since your using the service you cannot stop it until you disable it so we opened up the properties menu and disabled it completely, we then took a step to stop the service. The last step by typing in the run box "sc delete Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" what

this does is take all the little bits and peices out of whats called the registry in windows kind of like removing your tracks.

If you would like to reinstall the windows firewall at any time. All you have to do is go to the Control Panel and click "Windows Firewall" a box will then pop up asking you if you would like to reinstall the firewall. Simply click yes.

Only if you want to get your pc infected.

If you have WinXP, you can use the XP Internet Connection Firewall = http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/learnmore/icf.mspx

To turn Win XP firewall on/off = start/control panel/double-click on network connections/right click on the icon for the connection you are using/properties/advanced/ check or uncheck box next to "internet connection firewall"

Or get the Free Kerio Firewall = It will give you "full version" access for 14 days, then will revert back to free version(which works just fine).= http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm = "Kerio firewall - free personal version."

(Don't use both)

No matter how few computers you have, you should also use a hardware router = http://www.officedepot.com/txtSearchDD.do;jsessionid=0000KO5D2MM40RW0ZOPS02TFC2A:uhas9l19?uniqueSearchFlag=true&searchTxt=router&x=6&y=7

If you are always having trouble with your firewall, then you might consider unintalling that and trying another.

Try the free version of Zone Alarm. see it at http://www.zonealarm.com/
