Win XP Pro Firewall & Norton
I'm using Norton Security and want to turn off the firewall built into
Windows XP Pro. In the Control Panel|Security Center|Managing Settings for Windows Firewall, I turn the firewall off by clicking the "Off (Not recommended) button. This fire wall management setting shows the Windows firewall is off. However, when I go back to Security Center, the firewall's green light is still green and shows the firewall as being "On." In other words, the green ligth on the Security Center display is in disagreement with what's shown in the "Manage Settings for Windows Firewall" section. Which do I believe? I've re-started the computer but get the same results. How do I make sure the Windows firewall is off and, ideally, get the two displays to agree. Thanks.

Win XP Pro Firewall & Norton
The green light does not signify that the "Windows Firewall" is on. It
signifies that "a" firewall is on. If you expand the firewall section, you'll see that it indicates that you have Norton Firewall and it is up to date. "Hugh" wrote in message ...
