Default XP Firewall greyed out

Hi,
I wondered if anyone can help me with an XP firewall
problem. For some reason I am no longer able to enable my
computers firewall; it is greyed out and it worries me
more than a little. Any ideas?
Cheers,
DK

Hello
Are you running a bridged network connection.

StartControl PanelNetwork Connectionsright click your connection and see
it is bridged if it is undo it unless it is needed. (probably not)

Hello Again
I was not aware of ISP's offering firewalls, if so it might not be
configured correctly, maybe just remove it and use ZoneAlarm it will be set
to default level after downloading and will work as good as any.
