HOW DO I TURN IT ON ?

HOW TO: Enable or Disable Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp

Special note if you use AOL:

America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.

Visit the following web site for instructions on downloading
a FREE firewall program for your computer.

However, if you're dealing with a proprietary connectoid, such as
those provided by AOL, you very probably
cannot change any settings, to include enabling the ICF.

If you're using AOL, MSN, NetZero, or another service that doesn't
trust its customers to control their own computers,you'll either need
to find a 3rd party firewall that is compatible with them, or switch
to a real ISP that is compatible with the real Internet.
