Windows XP's built in Firewall

[edjam]

Hi, is there anyway to disable it an djust use ZA in Home Edition? Also, is a network reasonably simple to set up under XP? Thx

Go to start help and type firewall it will tell you how to do it.

it should be disabled by default, you having to choose to use it by checking a box!

Thanks bacillus. Do you think it is worth disabling it for ZA? Or is it just as good?

ZA is a better firewall so suggest that you just use it vs the XP one!

OK, thx man. BTW, anyone know of information about multiple licenses but buyign only one copy of XP?

the xp firewall is complete CRAP imho. zonealarm is MUCH MUCH better (it is easier to configure... xp firewall requires specifying ports - zonealarm lets you choose apps and lets the apps choose their own ports)
