I am so dumb. I still can't find security or firewall on the control panel?

In the control panel, it may be listed as Security Center.

Great question and thank you for participating. The best, free firewall that I've found is ZoneAlarm from www.zonelabs.com  Download the free version and follow thru during the prompts and then allow it to install itself to the hard drive. Afterwards, restart the computer so that the new changes can take effect. Let me know when this is done and I'll help you with it's operations as it can be a bit confusing when you first attempt to use it. You'd be getting warning popups and need to know why they're there and what to do with them. I'll help you with it step by step. Larry Radio Shack 01-9590

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

It depends on which firewall, and there are many kinds (both software and hardware). Most people probably have Windows XP's firewall, which can be turned on/off from the Control Panel.

Go to "Start > Control Panel > Window Firewall" and then turn off the Windows Firewall. Works on Windows XP SP2 for me.

You might check your hosts file to see if things are amuck in there.  It's located at:\nC:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92;drivers&#92;etc\n\nJust open it in notepad.
