sp2 and firewall

My firewall settings are greyed out and a banner says some functions
controlled by group policy but I have a home computer and no network
administrator. I tried resetting the firewall setting and it didnt seem to
work.Thanks Peter

service boot selection in the bios startup screen .

With administrative rights run gpedit.msc (Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc). The
settings for the firewall are under Computer Configuration -> Administrative
Templates -> Network -> Network Connections -> Windows Firewall.
