Start - settings - Network Connections Then right-click on your connection and select " Properties" , then advanced. Easy from there.

320850 2005-02-02 19:34:00 Depending on if u have SP1 or SP2 installed. If I can remember SP1 doesnt have an icon in control panel / windows firewall does it??

It's only thru your dialup icon / properties / advanced / first option, you can turn it off. Before you dialup (if you're on dialup).

In SP2 there's a Windows Firewall icon in Control Panel. Just click on it to open it and select OFF. Under the general tab.
