XP Home SP2 Firewall problem
Hi,
upgraded to SP2 a week ago and went through the security centre to enable the firewall, today I had to add a new network connection and it says all the connections I have are just 'Enabled', not 'Enabled,Firewalled'. When I popped up the security centre it clearly says Firewall is ON but it isn't. Anyway, manually turned firewall ON and all was OK for a while but on rebooting it goes back firewall disabled. I am also running ZoneAlarm Security Suite which I ran before with no firewall issues - any ideas? Regards, Matt |

XP Home SP2 Firewall problem
It's possible that zone alarm is programatically disabling windows firewall.
You probably don't need to have both running. -- David Microsoft Windows Networking This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. "Matt Barratt" wrote in message ...
