Assuming you have AOL, you'll need a third-party firewall.
America Online installs its own connection settings that override=20
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's=20
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's=20
built-in firewall.

Yes.
Go to the properties of your connection and you can turn it on on the
Advanced tab.

That won't help the OP.

AOL (an on-line content provider that ignores international
Internetworking standards in favor of its own proprietary products),
has deliberately made its connection software incompatible with both
WinXP's built-in firewall and WinXP's Internet Connection Sharing
feature. AOL's proprietary connection applet is deliberately designed
to preclude your setting/adjusting any of its properties, to include
enabling/disabling WinXP's ICF and ICS.

I'll admit that I didn't even look at the email address.
If I had I wouldn't have posted.
