Hi there, \n\nDo you have any other Firewalls or Internet Security programs installed? If so, it is likely that there is a conflict between them and your windows firewall. Try disabling them and check again. If not, uninstall and reinstall the Service Pack 2 again.\n\nHope this helps. If not, I'd be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Your EZ firewall turnsoff your Windows firewall. Why do you want 2 firewalls running at the same time?

Definitely don't use two firewall programs.  They can conflict with each other and prevent networking/internet access altogether.  Windows fire wall is not good ao it is surely the one to turn off.  If you want to test your fire wall you can go to www.grc.com and run the Shields Up program to check your open ports or download the Leak Test program to see if your firewall catches it.

firewall restrictions by the admin of your network. OR you have a limited windows xp account rather than a computer administer account on XP

first check you internet connection whether it has been connected or not , if yes check the provided connection port if port is disabled enabled it because you can't access any system behind the firewall protection

windows 2000 proff does not have a built-in firewall, so if you have any third party firewall such as zone alaram or norton internet security, u need to open tht particualr application and make the changes.

If your talking about finding your Windows Firewall. Go to your Network Connections (Control Panel) and right click on your current connection (for example LAN or Wirelss). Then go properties and click on the Advanced tab. Click on "Settings" and there's your firewall options.

it is a long time since I used 2000, is the firewall icon on your task bar right hand side, if it is right click on it and open it up and knock it off if not you may have to go to the control panel click on the firewall Icon and do it from there,

first off do a virus scan as there are a lot of virus/Trojans etc that work to disable your firewall.  If nothing shows, then only thing i can suggest is to re-install.  It could be that you have installed new software and it's screwed something up with your firewall.

try checking your connection preferences, you might have set it to no network detection, if you have then put it to no proxy, if you still cant connect then put it to firewall with no proxies
